 (Height about 20 inches.) 



quagga and blue wildebeest, numbering not far 

 from a hundred of each sort. Amongst the lesser 

 antelopes, the graceful klipspringer, found only in 

 the hills, was met with in this district. 



Resuming his journey to the north-west on the 

 15 th, and travelling through mopani-veldt, he again 

 struck the Tati River in the afternoon at the same 

 point where the pleasing character of the scenery 

 had been first observed by him when he was here 

 two months before. A large spring of fresh water 

 welled up at the foot of a picturesque kopje, and 

 a mile or two up the river was abundance of water 

 in the river-bed.
