28 THE GAME OF THE NORTH KAVIRONDO 
The quartzite of Nos. 18 and 15 doubtless comes from the 
quartzite of the Kisii Highlands, probably from pebbles 
brought down by the Kuja river. In No. 15 this is cer- 
tainly the case, for the reverse side shows the natural 
rounded surface of the pebble with only secondary chipping 
round the edge. 
No. 14 is a quartz-porphyry, rather similar to the quartz- 
porphyry of Najanja at the south-east angle of Homa Bay. 
Nos. 11 and 12 were found at Nira ; all the remainder come 
from Kachuku.

The North Kavirondo district is not noted for the abun-

inhabit it. 
The boundaries of the district are, roughly, the Yala River to 
the Lake ; the Lake shore to the mouth of the Sio River ; 
thence for about twenty miles up the Sio River, and from 
there to the Malaba River which it follows to Elgon ; about 
half of Elgon ; and the Nandi Escarpment down to the Yala 
River. 
This large area differs considerably in the character of 
the country, and from a zoological point of view may be 
conveniently divided into three divisions. 
Division 1. — The greater portion of the district consists 
of rolling grass-clad downs, with scattered bushes and small 
trees. Here and there are outcrops of rock and occasional 
copses, or woods of thorn bush and timber trees. 
Nearly every valley is swampy during the rains. The 
grass, which mainly consists of spear-grass and red top, grows 
to a length of about five feet. This land is fairly thickly 
populated and does not hold much game, an occasional duiker 
or reedbuck (Ward’s Bohor) being seen. Game birds are
