Dr. J. C. Mitchell writes in 1895 :—“Two years ago I visited Lake Kurun, in the 
layum, and the Bedouins there informed me that the ‘ Baggara-el-Wahsh ’ was to be 
found two days’ journey off due west into the Desert.” 
In 1900 Dr. Flinders Petrie, on behalf of the Egypt Exploration Fund, presented to 
the Natural History Department of the British Museum a skull and horns of a 
Hartebeest taken from a tomb at Abadiyeh, of about the date 300 B.c. This specimen 
has been identified as S. lelwel, Heuglin, a species which at the present time is not 
known to occur north of Khartum.—W. E. de W.
