﻿AGAINST SLEEPING SICKNESS IN THE WESTERN PROVINCE OP ASHANTI. 231 



I should mention that throughout the " orchard " country small antelope 

 (bushbuck, duiker, etc.) are plentiful, and that in unfarmed and thinly populated 

 areas buffalo, waterbuck, hartebeest, roan antelope, kob and reedbuck are 

 found. Pig, bongo, and smaller forest antelope are found in the forests, and all 

 rivers of any appreciable dimensions contain crocodiles. Elephants occur in one 

 portion of Jaman and Wenchi, and during the rains in the Akonanza Forests of 

 Warn and Ahafo. Monkeys are plentiful in the forest and baboons in some 

 parts of the open country. Game generally is fairly plentiful, but to the 

 European hunter it is extremely difficult of approach, its shyness being doubtless 

 due to the large amount of native hunting and the profusion of Dane guns in the 

 country.
