In the same work (pp. 63--71) Euppell also mentions the Giraffe as one of the 
animals hunted in the Western deserts of Dongola in the months of May and June. 
Cretzschmar, in Kuppell’s Atlas Eeise nordl. Afr., Saugeth. 1826, p. 25, says that 
Riippell brought back five specimens, two males and three females, from his journey 
in Nubia and Kordofan. He states that Giraffes were found to the south of Simrie 
in small companies, and were common in the desert of Dar-Fur. 
Hoskins, ‘Travels in Ethiopia,’ 1835, says, p. 187, that “ the Giraffe is found in great 
numbers on the road from El Debbeh (on the Nile) to Kordofan, between Sabrian and 
Jebel el Arazi, and behind Kordofan, on the Bahr el Abiad, in the territory of the 
Baggara.” 
Holroyd (A. T.), Journ. Roy. Geogr. Soc. 1839, who visited Kordofan in 1836-37, 
says that the Camelopard is found within a few days of El Obeid.—W. E. de W.
