ABYSSINIA AND THE BOGOS COUNTRY.—APPENDIX. 311 
his escape into a tree, after hard running, and having left a bullet in the head of a large 
bull. Ata later date I found myself in the same disagreeable predicament, and under 
a like disagreeable necessity. At Waliko I found two species of crested Cuckoo and 
the English Cuckoo. I also obtained a Bateleur Eagle, two species of Tortoise, and a 
small Squirrel. I must here state that Waliko is not, as represented in the map, on 
the right side of the river, but on the left as you go down stream. From here we 
crossed over to Gabena Weld Gonfallon, or the river-plain, where Mr. Blanford and 
Capt. Mokeler killed a Rhinoceros. We returned by the old route to Kokai and 
Gelamet, and then branched off to Rairo; here we stopped two days collecting. On 
the 15th of August we moved on again to Mombar-Haratt-b’, where we killed a 
Lioness, one out of four, the others running away. From this place we proceeded to 
Ain (where we reentered our former route), and quitted this on the 17th of August for 
Amba and Mai Wallet. Mr. Blanford and I stayed in Amba from the 19th to the 21st, 
trying to obtain specimens of the Oryx beisa. I unfortunately did not even see one; 
Mr. Blanford procured four specimens. We went from Amba to Massowah, which I 
left on the 27th for England.

later date :—
