Lynx kraal of Corannas, situate on the banks of the 
Donkin River, which runs into the Yellow River, about 
four days' journey above its junction with the Malala- 
reen River, and flows from the east. Lynx kraal is the 
town highest up or farthest to the eastward of any be- 
longing to that nation. Hareena has a brother of the 
same name, who is distinguished by the appellation of

The Coranna employed the Bushman to kill game. One

those days, when he shot, with an arrow, one of the 
calves, which he skinned and brought to the Coranna as 
if it had been game. On tasting the flesh, the Coranna 
was surprised, and said it tasted like a new kind of game, 
and inquired where he had obtained it. The other only 
replied that he had shot it. The next time the Bushman
