GAME ANIMALS OF JUBALAND

arid conditions obtain their maximum development and only 
essentially desert dwellers are found within the borders of that 
inhospitable region. But in Joreh and Biskaya there are a 
very few zebra closely akin to the E. Burchelli Granti. I was 
unable to obtain a sufficient number of specimens to be 
satisfied that the differences I noted were constant, or were 
due merely to individual variation or peculiarity. 
I include the table on p. 120, which may be of interest. 
In conclusion, I may say that the giraffe ( G . reticulata) 
occurs in astonishing numbers, elephants are fairly plentiful, 
but buffalo, rhino, and lion are extremely scarce. Topi, oryx, 
and lesser kudu are to be met with frequently in Joreh or 
Biskaya, and gerenuk and dik dik are common enough through-

at Lorian, the effects of scanty grazing and the severe physical 
conditions of the country they inhabit are shown in their 
small bodily size and horn measurement, and this is especially 
noticeable in the topi and the oryx. 
SOME NOTES ON FISHES IN BRITISH EAST AFRICA 
AND UGANDA 
By F. G. Aflalo, F.R.G.S. 
Looking at the fishes of the two Protectorates from the 
angling, and not the museum, standpoint, the traveller is 
certain to be amazed by at once (apart from those of the coast, 
which are for the most part travellers themselves) the remark- 
able lack of variety of type and the excellent sport which they 
afford. 
Of the koli-koli, nguru, and other kinds to be found at 
Mombasa, Mr. R. J. Cuninghame has already written most 
instructively in these pages, and I gladly endorse his remarks, 
with the rider that, treating his subject perhaps intentionally 
from a somewhat academic standpoint, he did not, if memory 
serves me (and it must be nearly three months since I read
