Appendix. 



The domesticated mammals in the Kikuyu country were Goats, Sheep and 

 Cattle. The latter was a small breed of humped cattle with short horns. The Sheep 

 were different in colour, some were brown, some brown and white and so on, and 

 provided with a short, rounded fat-tail. They were hornless and hairy. The Goats 

 had short horns or were hornless. Their colour was very variable white, greyish 

 brown, black and so on. 



In the Meru country the cattle was a small breed of humped cattle with short 

 horns, or without such appendages. The Sheep were brown, black, black and white 

 etc. all hairy and without horns, and the Goats similar to those of the Kikuyus, 



The nomadic tribes on the northern side of Guaso Nyiri have also Camels. 

 The Rendiles at Njoro had very great numbers of Camels, Their Sheep of which 

 they also had great herds were all white with black head (conf, PL XV fig. 4) 

 They were all hornless, some had cylindrical normal tails, and others had short fat- 

 tails. The Goats had short horns and had variable colour as brown, black, white 

 etc. (PI. XV fig. 4). 



The 28*^ of Febr. near Thera I met in the thornbush a Rendile (or Samburu) 

 with a large herd of cattle all of which were of the humped race, but othervise very 

 much varying in colour and other characteristics. Some had short horns, and some 

 very long horns reminding about Uganda cattle. But in a third lot the horns were 

 hanging loose in the skin. This man had also donkeys. 



The next day I met a Samburu with a large herd of Sheep and Goats. The 

 greatest number of the former were white, or white with black head, others were 

 brown with the skin of the neck hanging loose, and provided with fat-tail. The 

 Goats were mostly white, or greyish brown with small horns. 



The Samburus had also dogs with erect ears and strongly curved tail. In their 

 size and appearance they resembled the »Grey Dogs* from Jamtland and northern 

 Sweden, but they were red in colour (some also white).
