Elephant in Southern Abyssinia.— C^iptain 
Wellby (says tlie Spectator, Aug. 3, in reviewing 
the new book of tiiis gallant traveller who fell lately 
in South Africa) talks with the greatest equani- 
mity of walking into a herd of elephants and 
shooting right and left. According to him a 
charging elephant; and still more easily, a charging 
rhinoceros can be evaded by a step aside. It is 
pleasant to say that he shot with discretion and 
humanity, and not for a record bag ; though his 
first encounter with elephants was disastrous as 
he fired at the head three times with a rifle or 
cartridges deficient in power to penetrate. When 
he had secured as much ivory as his men could 
carry without inconvenience, he let the elephants 
alone and watched instead of sh' Oting them. It 
will be ^<urpri.=ing if the leading of this book does 
not tempt many big-game shots to make the 
journey to the shores of Lake Rudolf. If they 
go, it is to be hoped that they will bring back 
move detailed information about the tribes. For 
example, the Turkanas are described as a race of 
giants but we have no measurements given.
