buck, lie up for the day in patches of brush or reeds con¬

Another pair were driven from a reed bed, an acre or two 
in area, from precisely the same part of which a big, maned 
lion was driven a few seconds afterward. Evidently the 
reedbuck in such cover feel confident that they can detect

never heard of their lying in such cover in company with a 
leopard.

the German border north to the Turkwell River and from 
the Victoria Nyanza east to the headwaters of the Athi

Oldfield Thomas described this race from specimens re¬

F. J. Jackson on the Mau Plateau, no doubt somewhere in 
the vicinity of Eldoma Ravine Station.
