NATURAL HISTORY NOTES FROM BRITISH 
EAST AFRICA 
By A. Loveridge 
January 4, 1915. — The journey up from Mombasa was 
hardly as interesting as I had anticipated. The scenery 
was delightful, first tropical, then scrub, and finally the great 
bare plains whose ugliness was only relieved by the game. 
Being the hottest part of the year, most of the herds had 
migrated to the foothills, the grass on the plains being scorched 
up, and I did not see more than five hundred head. These 
were composed of wildebeest, Coke’s hartebeest, Grant’s 
gazelle, Thomson’s gazelle, some fleeing buck, ostriches, 
secretary birds, Marabou storks, and a vulture.
