vebruary, 1910. 
(254) killed two rabbits with sticks near camp. 17: Last evening J.A.L. and I 
(256) 
shot bats at camp. Ye got two species of armll Pipisatrellus. These were 
not seen until we reached the dovm pelm belt and it is probable that they 
live in the masses of dead leavers in the crowns of these palms. Left camp 
@t 4 A.M. and arrived at Gondokoro at 8.30 A.il. About one hour before 
reaching Gondokoro we saw a herd of about 50 elephants feeing in the tall 
elephant grass near the Nile. They were only Ahout a half mile off the 
track but they took no notice of the (255) safari or the shouting of the 
porters. Ye saw no buck but the Dr. who was ahead, sav waterbuck and cob. 
Clumps of down palm were very common Along the way and together with the 
Acacias they made wp most of the tree erowth., We marched into Gondoroko 
headed by Chief Kiribie and his hand of two drums and two buglers who Kept 
up & monotonous din. 18: 7.R. & KR. left at noon for Rejaf to hunt the 
@iant Eland which are said to be two dara inland, ‘19-25: Remained in 
Gondokoro sick part of the time and prevented fron going to Rejaf with 
Cosh KeRe Loring set small traps about the Gondoxoro station where he 
caught many Arvicanthus neumanni, A zebra, Mus hildebrandti. Bats were very 
numerous in the houses. Many Nyetémoms hindei (256) lived uncer the roof 
of the house we lived ine In Haddons house were many Kyoteris thebaics 
of two sorts of coloration, the cormonest the ordinary gray and the other a 
bright orange rufous. “he ilegaderma was ocormion. A few large eared Fipposid- 
erus were taken but none of the small Pipistrellus which were s0 conmon at 
Kiriba. Some Tatera wore also trapped. 26: Left with Dre Rabinovitch for 
®& small lake % miles east of Gondokoro on the Mongalla Road. On the way 
out ve saw a large herd of defassa and when we arrived oan kongoni and 
tiang were yi the meadow near the lake. We at once stalked these but could 
only get near the hartebeest, three of which we shot. These were all wery 
light yellowish with rather wide spread horns and were exactly like those 
from Rhino camp, which I thought were new. One or two red individuals were 
seen in this herd of about 40. Hained at noon for an houre In the P.H. 
we went out for a hunt bat found nothing in the brush. On coming back to 
the meadow we saw a herd of 4 roan with a few hartebeest. The Dr. shot a 
? roan and we cut off the head. I set the two steel traps at the body of 
the animal but caught nothing during the night. About our camp was a large

tamarind tree with ripe pods. 26: Heard lion roar during the night but 
they did not come near camp. Sav only a single Siang in the meadow. The 
Dr. shot one * kongoni. Saw one paton monley on the meadow. 27: Caught a 
large ¢ leopard and a ¥ Serval in the steel traps at the roan carcass. 
The servél had been killed by the leopard by bites in the chest and shoulder 
it apparently haring been canght first. “hia leopard when SHAH; approached 
made efforts to escape only and did not face ns. (268) At 10 Au. a herd 
of 5 roan came down to the lake and we stalked them and shot two largest 
which proved to be fermles. At 4 P.i,. we left with the safari for Gondokoro. 
®hen our one hour ve struck a herd af about 40 roan on the road, ‘We kept 
straight on our wey and the roan moved out only 150 yards from the road. 
Severel large males were in the herd, one Of which the Dr. shot. This one 
had #26 inch horns and the ears were withont any tassels. Later I saw a 
cheetah end several * bushbuck. ear the pond we saw several smallish 
warthogs and the fresh tracks of several buffalo. I also saw a few oribi. 
Kob are said not to occur here. Yegetation chiefly down palms near 
Gondokoro and acacia serub and Kigelia near the lage with a few euphorbias,. 
No hyaenas heard. Serval tracks (259) abundant in the road. 7,8. & HR, 
returned on the 26th from Rejaf. T.R. with a large male eland and K.R. 
with a large ¢ and ¥ with 41 inch horns. 7.R. saw only two eland but H.R, 
saw two herds of about 15 sach. They were very shy howerer being much 
hunted by the netives. Thev feed only on 4 Species of brush, Bulyspermun? 
the leaves of which KR. preserved. Resides the eland they saw only 4 few 
Roan, kongoni, waterbuck, oribi and some giraffe. ~.R. shot & roanhead. 
ie eland country is quite thick hush and @iftioult hunting but only 11 
hours in from Rejaf. 28: Left Gondokoro 6 A.M. arrived at Lado at noon 
and stopped for lunch. At 4 P.4. we landed at Mongalla and spend the spent 
the hours of daylight watching the bari dance to the beat of two drums. 
Mongalla is very flat but is a good game country. (260) Within one hour of 
the station is a heat of sebra, the only ones in the country and on this 
account they are preserved. Four or five Hast African eland have been shot 
here also but they are said to be regeed in pelage and small, “his is the 
Onlyiplece they are known from west of B.D,A. “They are rare here and only 
a few hsve been shot. Wild dogs herve also been shot here and a few Roths~
