Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of the 

 Roan Antelope in South Africa during the period 1871-1881 : — 

 " I have twice met with the Roan Antelope to the south of 

 Bamangwato — once on the Limpopo and once on the Notuani. 

 In the neighbourhood of the Tati in south-western Matabele Land 

 it is not uncommon, and all along the road from there to the 

 Zambesi it may be met with, though nowhere plentiful. As far 

 as I have been along the Chobe it is to be found sparingly, and 

 also in the Mababe country. Throughout the Mashuna country it 

 is tolerably plentiful, and in the Manica country north of the 

 Zambesi I saw a good many. In fact it is to be found over a 

 vast extent of country in Central South Afi-ica, but is nowhere to 

 be met with in large numbers."
