MR. SINCLAIR, Dealer in Insects. DepLU OCEAN PARK, CALIF. 
,0 Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. 
however, against a settler taking ever}' 
means in his power to rid himself of 
lions or other beasts that prey on his 
cattle. Sometimes the luck is with the 
settler who sits up over a kill, and I 
know of two who, working together, ac- 
counted for seven lions in one night. 
Another settler of my acquaintance, sit- 
ting lip over his cattle boma, shot one of 
his own oxen. It is a chilly and uncer- 
tain business. 
/^F elephant and buffalo, I can say 
nothing from personal experience. 
On one occasion we were a day too late 
for a small herd of the former, and had 
no time then to turn back, and on two 
occasions I got within 15 yards of a soli- 
tary buffalo, after very hard work, for 
the meagre satisfaction of hearing a 
mighty crash as the animal made off in 
dense bush w'ithout even giving me a 
glimpse of him. 
I saw hippo in Lakes Nakuru and 
Olbolosset but did not take them ser- 
iously enough to wait for them on the 
banks and I did not want to shoot them 
in the water. The nearest I ever got to 
one was when I was stalking my best 
waterbuck one evening on the edge of a 
swamp, on the (luaso Narok. A hippo 
snorted once or twice within a few yards 
of me, but as 'those few yards consisted 
of dense papyrus growing out of 6 or 
8 feet of flood water, I preferred to go 
after the water buck. 
My hag at the end of the trip wa;s 39, 
all told, which comprised lion, rhino, 
Burchell’s zebra, warthog, and specimens 
of twelve species of antelope, including 
one of the somewhat rare topi. We were 
not fortunate enough to get kudu or 
gerenuk, two much-prized and songht- 
iftcr trophies, and I was sorry that I 
'eft East Africa without obtaining a 
'.hot at wildebeest, which are so common 
in some parts but which apparently are 
not found at all on the Laikipia plateau. 
I was told I had made a good average 
collection for the district shot over and 
at any rate whether good, bad or in- 
different, I felt very pleased with it and 
would like to live the trip all over again, 
incliTding — if I could not do so on any 
other terms — the bout of fever which 
laid me low for a week. 
Reptiles and insects caused us very 
little concern, except on one occasion 
when our Kavirondo driver light-heart- 
edly stirred up a bee’s nest. Ten min- 
utes sufficed to scatter oxen, ponies and 
men over the adjacent three square miles 
of East Africa and two and a half hours 
elapsed before the bees were appeased, 
the safari collected again and the march 
resumed. The oxen cut capers incredible 
in such serious-minded beasts, the ponies 
finally took refuge in a stream and the 
surrounding country was a busy sccTie 
as white men and black ran hither and 
thither with waving arms, each with a 
halo of angry bees. Gradually we col- 
lected into kttlc groups round smoke fires, 
in the shelter of which we lay prone and 
choking. Now and then a nigger, clad 
solely in a scanty blanket, would break 
across the open to some other place of 
fancied security. These wild dashes 
were watched with hilarious enjoyment 
It iciU identify you.
