Notes on South African Hunting, 6i 
Comparisons odious to Niagara. 
Presently I saw a flash as of some animal 
running away through the bush, and then I saw 
that it was a troop of Koodoo, a kind of ante¬ 
lope. Evidently they had got used to the roar 
of the Falls, and could hear just as quickly as 
they could have done away from them. They 
could not have seen or smelt us, as we came 
on them over a slight rise, and were going up¬ 
wind to them, in the same direction as they 
were feeding. 
I was very sorry not to have any instruments 
to take the various measurements, as it would 
have been highly interesting to know if any of 
them have altered since the last observations 
were made ; and I believe none have been taken 
since Livingstone first discovered the Falls. 
It might be interesting to note down the 
comparative approximate measurements of the 
Niagara and Victoria Falls, on the authority of 
the Niagara guide book and Dr. Livingstone 
respectively.
