PREFACE,

Hv" the kind permission of tlie Editor, the following ohituarv
notice is reproduced, with some omissions and verbal altei'atiuns,
from Tlie Tiinex of dannarv Stli, 11)17.

"Captain F. ('. Selous,^ D.S.O., the famous South Afi-iean
explorer and big ganu' hunter, was killed in action in East Africa
on January 4tli at the age of (55. Last September he was awarded
the D.S.O. -for conspicuous gallantry, resource and endurance,' the
official report adding that he set a nuignificent example to all
ranks, and that the value of his services with his battalion c*)uld
not be overestimated.

Captain Frederick Courteney Selous was born in London on
December 81, iSol. He was educated at Kugbj and afterwards
at Neuchatel and Wiesbaden. At the age of 19 he left England
with £iOl) in his p > -ket, determined to earn his living as a
professional elephant hunter. With this object he made his wav
to the Kimberley diamond tields, then recently disoovereil. On
barning that the right season of the year for a trip to the interior
was not due for some months, voung Selous joined a tradintr
e\[)edition into (Iricpialand. In 1S72 he at last set forth for the
interioi-, that is, the territ:)ry udw known as S )athern Ivhodesia,
then terrorized by the Matabele and their martial chief Lobengula.
Without the pernaissiou of this monarch no one might enter
Mitabeleland or the neighbouring territories. Selous approached
Lobengula al)out the matter, and the king was pleased to jest at

liis ]ietiti()iK'i-'s vontlifnl appearance and to regard tlie idea of liis
attacking an elejjliant with derision. He gave the desired
permission, wliich was taken advantage of proin])tly ; not only did
Selous hag many ele])hants hefore lie came of age, hnt hy the
time he was live-and-twenty he was known far and wide in
South Africa as one of tlie most successful ivory Inuiters of
the day.

Ahout this time many of the Boer elejjhant Inniters wen-
giving up the profession ; the elephants liad given up theii' old
haunts of the o])en veld and the herds had retreated to the forest
country. Here the use of liorses was impossihle, and malarial and
other fevers took toll of the hunters ; a few of the holder spirits
made up their minds to stick to elephant hunting, and it was
among these hardy and experienced men that Selous speedily made
a great reputation for courage, hushcraft and endurance. A man
of l)eautiful proportions, with a chest of extraordinary depth and
hreadth, he is descrihed as the hest white runner that the Matahele
had ever seen, and more than once he owed his life to his ])ower of
sprinting, jumping and swerving. The life of constant hardslii])
toughened him, and he seldom suffered from fever.

Until 18S1 Selous devoted himself mainly to elephant hunt-
ing, save for one holiday to England in IST-J. In the former year
he returned home for the second time, and shortly afterwards
published ' A Hunter's Wanderings in Africa,' a hook which ran
through five editions, and took rank immediately among the
classical works on African hunting. His keen interest in to])(>-
graphy led to a succession of eoiitrihutions to tlie Journal of
the lioyal (jleographical Society, whicli in due lime awarded him
its gold medal. By the end of ISSI he was l>ack at the Cape, and
for the next six years wandered ahout the Matahele and other
territory to the Zambesi, devoting himself mainly to procuring
specimens of the African fauna for museums and jirivate collections
at home. Many of the finest specimens to be seen in the Xatural
History Museum were jirociu'ed by Selous during these years.

In 18SS, in passing through the Mashukulumbwi teiTitory,
Selous was set upon by that tribe; his caravan was jilundered,
many of his followers were killed, and he himself, escaping with

difficulty, inade liis \v;iv Itack in llic last stag-es of exhaustion.
Early in 1S90 lu' led the pioneer expedition of the Chartered
(\)nipany into JVlashonaland, and so saved that valuable eonntrv
t'roni Portuguese annexation.

The next two years were sjient on survevini;' and similar
work for the Cliartered Company, and in 1802 Selous returned to
Phig'land. In 1 Si);5 he published 'Travel and Adventure in South-
Kast Africa.' whicli c'ontained not only an aeeoiuit of his many
adventures since the ])ul)licati()n of his former hook, hul also
i^'lowing" deso'iptions of the ])otentialiiies of IVFashonaland and
jNIaniealand. IJeturning to Ivhodesia in ihe same ycai', he assisted
in the su])pi'ession of the iirst Matahele insurrection; he then came
home, as he thought, foi' good, and soon afterwards married Marie
Catlicrine Gladys (daughtei' of the late Canon Maddy ) who siu'vives
him. In ISO-") he irturned to l\hodesia with his wife to lake u|)
the management of an estate, and was thus in time to serve
through the second Matahele AYar. during which liis lunnestead
was hurnt hy the rehels. In ISOC) he emhodied tlicsc ex]ici'ienccs,
together with a I'cview of the causes of the Matahele wais and of
the resources u\' Cliai'tcrland, in a hook entitled 'Smishine and
Stoi'm in Hhoilcsia."

From this time onwards Selous gratilied his ruling ])assion,
hiff-srame shooting, rather as an amateur than as a i)rofessional.
In 1S94— '■) he visited Asia Minor on a hunting torn-, and in 1897
and 1898 he made two tri])s to the Rocky Mountains. In 1900,
1901, and 1905 he shot in Newfoundland. In 1904 and 190G he
was on the Macniillan IJivci' in the Yukon territory of Xorth-
Western Canada. In later years he once mon; tiuTied his attention
to Africa, this time to Ib'itish East Africa and the Nile. Through-
out his career Heloiis was much uiore than merely a successful
game-shooter. AYherever he went he took the deepest interest in
the habits and personality of all animals encountered. Keen
observation, indefatigable ])atience. and a retentive memory com-
bined to make him a Held naturalist of veiT exce]>tioual excellence;
and these (pialities, togethei- with his enormous ex])erience, I'aised
him to the ])osition of acknowledged thij/cu of the whole tribe of

VI PHEFAOE.

raocleni hunters. In lODD-lOlO he organized and accompanied
Mr. Roosevelt's hunting expedition in British P]ast Africa.

In one of liis later hooks, ' African Nature Xotes and
IJeniiniseenees/ Selous suniinai'ized his vast stores of knowh'dge
ahout many of tlie nohlest of the African wild game ; and lie
wrote also two hooks dealing with liis adventui'cs in Asia Minor
and in Xoi'th Anierica. All his ])ooks are written in a spirit of
transparent honesty and in a simple and direct style, reileeting the
t'haracter of the author, whose straightforwmxhiess, integrity,
hospitalitv, and kindness of lieai't wei'e as well known In hosts of
friends as the (pialities which made him so successful a huntei'.
At his house at Worplesdon he ])uilt a special museum for his
numerous trophies; and nothing pleased him hetter than to show
visitors over this building, except, ])erhaps, the acquisition of fresh
additions to it.'"

A memorial to Selous was presented to the Natural History
Museum hv the subscrihers, and was unveiled at a public ceremony
on dune fOth, IHl'O. It is the work (d" the late Mr. W. R. Colton,
R.A., and consists of a bust in bronze in a granite setting with a
plaque below depicting some of the better known species of African
Big (lame. The stone is a block of syenite from Bon Accord
Quarry, presented l)y the Union (lovernment of South Africa.

Selous gave the Museum a number of Big (Jame and other
mammals, but his m;iin collection was ])rcsented hv Mrs. Selous in
1!)11). The majority of the specimens are heads of adult males,
and these have been arranged on the walls of the corridors on the
first door of the building under the supervision of (^i])tain .1.(1.

prove of interest and utility to sportsmen.

Tlie Catalogue is divick'd into two jxu'ts, tlie Hrst of which deals
with the African Big (lame Collection, containing 443 specimens,
and the second (p. S9) with 81 specimens from Europe, Asia, and
North America.

Unless the contrary is stated, the specimens referred to are all
mounted heads of adult male individuals. All horn measurements
are given in inches.

The synonymy of the various species and subspecies given in
the Catalogue is not complete, but it is sufficient to indicate the
origin of the names used.

Distinguished from the Abyssinian Guereza by having the white
brush of the tail very much lai'ger, only about 8 to 6 inches of the
base of the tail being black ; the white hairs of the body-mantle,
as a rule, entirely cover the black basal part of the tail.

Typical locality, Useri, north-east slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
There can be but little doubt that this monkey is fairly widely
distributed throughout Kenya Colony. Sevei'al different races of
the East African White-tailed Gruereza have been described, but
the distinguishing characters are perhaps of doubtful systematic
value. Owing to the licensing restrictions now in force it is
rarely that more than one or two of these monkeys are obtained
from the same locality, and in dealing with such small differences
of coloration as have been used to distinguish these various
forms, a large series of specimens is needed before such differences
can be accepted as being of any systematic importance.

EAST AFKICAN GREAT-EARED EOX.

Otocyox yiegatus.

Otocijon virgatiis, Miller, Smithson. Misc. Collect, vol. xlii. p. 485, 1909.

A small fox-like animal with very large ears ; distinguished
from the true foxes and dogs by having three or four upper molar
teeth and four lower ones on each side of the jaws. This form is
distinguished from the South African O. iiief/aJutis by the underside
of the body being buff-coloured instead of creamy white, and
having the tail marked above with a distinct black stripe. Miller
in his original description states that the skull differs from that of
■megalotis in the Hatter, less intlated auditory bulky, and the
absence of a notch between the angular and subangular processes
of the mandible.

Typical locality, Naivasha Station, Kenj'a Colony ; range from
Tanganyika Territory northwards through Kenya Colony towards
Abyssinia. The Abyssinia Great-eared Fox was recently described
by Cabrera * as a distinct form under the name canescens ; both

Lycaon tricolor, Gray, Griffith's Animal Kingdom, vol. v. p. 151, 1827.
Lycaon pictus, Garrod, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 373.

The presence of four toes on the fore feet distinguishes the
genus Lycaon from Can is. Ears very large. General colour a
mixture of yellowish buff, blackish brown, and white, in irregular
blotches, the pattern being extremely variable ; a dark frontal
stripe usually present. Skull heavily built and excessively broad,
with very massive teeth, superficially resembling those of the
HycEuicldB.

Typical locality, Mozambique. The Hunting Dog is very
generally distributed over the greater part of South Africa ; it
still exists in certain parts of Cape Colony. The Cape Colony
Lycaon has been separated as a distinct race under the name
cenatlcus *, and another form has been described from Zululand
as zuluensis +.

Typical locality, EJgeyo Escarpment, Uasin Gishu Plateau,
Ken^'a Colony ; range a})pears to extend northwards from the
I'asin Gishu Plateau and Northern Guaso Nyiro towards Lake
Kudolf and Southern Abyssinia. A name has been given to the
Striped Hyiena from the Northern Guaso Nyiro by Lonnberg *,
but according to Koosevelt and Heller f, who had the opportunity
of examining a large series of specimens from this locality, there
is no difference of systematic value between the Northern Guaso
Nyiro specimens and hergeri.

Crocuta capensis, Trouessart, Cat. Mamm. Siippl. p. 243, 1905.

Members of this genus are easily distinguished from the
Striped H^'ienas by the absence of the dorsal mane, smalli'r ears,
and the s^jotted markings on tlie body ; the skull is shorter and
wider, and the lower carnassial tooth is without the heel.

Type locality, Cape Colon}^ In Cape Colony this hyiena
is now nearly extinct ; in Zululand and parts of the Transvaal it
is still found, and further noi'tli it is fairly plentiful. In 1900
Matschle J described a Spotted Hy;ena from the Orange Jiiver
Colony under the name Hycena (Crocofta) gariejyensis ; the
following specimens may belong to this race, but there is not suffi-
cient material at present available for examination to justify the
recognition of this form.

variable and the dark spots are very large.

Typical locality, Lake Rukwa, Tanganyika Territory. This
hyaena would appear to be very widely distributed in East Africa,
being found throughout the greater part of Kenya Colony and
Tanganyika Territory. North of the Northern Gruaso Nyiro and
through the Lake lludolf region towards Abyssinia its place is
taken by Crocuta crocuta fisi, described by Heller* from the area
between the Northern Guaso Njaro and Mount Marsabit. The
names Jcibouotensis^ i^angaiiensis, and nzoi/ce must be regarded as

to be met with, and are ecjuall}' plentiful on the high, open downs
of the Mashuna covintrv, amongst the rough broken hills, through
which run many of the tributaries of the Zambesi, in the dense
thorn-thickets to the \vest of the Gwai Itiver, or in the marshy
countr}^ in the neighbourhood of Linyanti. As, however, they are
nocturnal in their habits, and usually lie asleep during the daytime,
in beds of reeds, or in the midst of dense thickets, it is only by
chance that one comes across them, even in parts of the country
where, from hearing their voices at nights, and constantly seeing
their spoor, there can be no doubt that they are plentiful. All the
Dutch hunters in the interior, as well as many Euro})eans, who
pretend to higher scientific attainments, sa}' that there are at least
three distinct species of lions in South Africa ; whilst some assert
that there are four or even five. Their distnictions are all based
upon the length and colour of the mane, the general colour of the
coat, the spots on the feet, and the comparative size of the animals.
For my part, and judging from my own very limited experience of
lions, I cannot see that there is any reason for supposing that
more than one species exists, and as out of fifty male lion skins
scarcely two will be found exactly alike in the colour and length
of the mane, I think it would be as reasonable to sujjpose that
there are twenty species as three. The fact is, that between the
animal with hai-dly a vestige of a mane, and the far handsomer
but much less common beast with a long flowing black mane, every
possible intermediate variety may be found. This I say emphati-
cally, after having seen a great many skins, and I entirely deny
that three well-marked and constant varieties exist. On June 6,
1879, I came across two fine old male lions on the Mababe fiat,
lying together under'the same bush, and shot them both. One
was a fuU-maned lion with a very dark-colovu'ed skin, the other a
very light-coloured animal with scarcely any mane at all. In size
they were nearly as possible equal, the skins, when ^jegged out,
measuring 10 feet 10 inches and 10 feet 9 inches respectively. A
few months afterwards Mr. H. C. Collison and myself again came
across two lions, the one dark-coloured, with a full, blackish mane,
the other a yellow-looking animal with but little mane. A day or
two later we shot two lionesses. The one killed by ray friend
can'ied in her womb three cubs (two males and a female) that
would probably have seen the light a few hours later. Of the two

male cubs the one, owiiii;' to the dark colour of the tips of the
hairs, was almost black, whilst the other was reddish yellow. The

skin of the female cub was also of a light colour "

The Lion has been completely exterminated in the country south
of the Orange ]iiver; it still occurs in parts of the Transvaal and
Zululand, and in lihodesia and Ijcchuanaland is found in consider-
able numbers.

Closely allied to the typical race ; dark markings broad, the
median dorsal lines usually broken into quite short lengths.
Oeneral colour of body rich buff, much as in the South African
form.

Typical locality, Macliakos, Ulu District, Kenya Colony. This
Serval appears to be widely distributed throughout East Africa,
specimens having been recorded from as far north as Lado, and
southwards through Kenya Colony into Tanganyika Territor3^

The South African Cheetah is rather smaller than the East
African races, with the general ground-colour rather darker and
spots smaller ; in appearance it more nearly resembles the Indian
Cheetah, Acinonyx venaticus.

In South Africa the Cheetah is still plentiful in Southern
Rhodesia and parts of the Kalahari.

Of the three bulls in the Collection, No. 19. 7. 15. 39 has
the largest horns : — greatest Avidth outside -i^k ; inside width

Typical locality, Sunday River, near Algoa Bay, South Afi-ica,
the range extending into Northern Natal and Rhodesia. Two
other forms of South African Buffalo have l)een described*, c/ar/e-
pensis from the Orange River Colony, and linqjopoensis from
Swaziland ; the horn characters that have been used to distinguish
these so-called species are, however, so veiy unsatisfactory that it
seems best to ignore these two names, and consider the followino-
specimens as representing the typical race, which may be called
the South African Buffalo.

Size medium, shoulder-lieight about 4.S inches. Horns wide-
spread and bracket-shaped, good horns measuring from 17 to 21
inches on front curve. Head comparatively short, much shorter
than in the Lelwel Hartebeests. Genei-al colour reddish or

Typical locality, Usagara, Tanganyika Territory ; range includes
the southern part of Kenya Colony south-west of the Tana River
and extends southwards into Tanganyika Territory. The Coke
Hartebeest found in the highlands of Kenya Colony from the eastei'n
slopes of Mt. Kenya and Lake Naivasha southwards to the Victoria
Nyanza and north-west part of Tanganyika Territory has been
described by Heller * as a distinct race, under the name koiiffoiii.
From the material at present available for examination the
distinctive characters attributed to this form do not seem to justify
such a separation, and thus the specimens shot by Selous at Simba
and in the Naivaslia Province are liere referred to the typical form.

Size rather larger than in coJcei, height at shoulder about 52
inches. Distinguished by the greater elongation of the head and
extreme development of the horn-pedicle. The Jackson Harte-
beest is distinguished from the typical Iclire/ by the absence of
dark markings on the legs and face. General body colour
yellowish rufous. Good horns from 24 to 26 inches in length on

Bnbalis caama selboi-Ht'i', Lydekkev, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1913, p. 820, fig. 135,
Abstract No. 119, p. 19.

Closely related to the extinct Cape liooi Hartebeest, the typical
race, which appears to have been confined to the area south of the
Orange Kiver. The present race was founded on a specimen from
Kimberley, imjiorted from the Transvaal ; it is said to differ from
caama in being paler in colour, and in having the dark face blaze
mixed with tawny and not extending to the horns and muzzle.
The light marking between the eyes is also more extensive, and
the dark markings on the limbs are less developed and less intense.
Distinguished from the Lelwel Hartebeest by the dark face blaze,
light marking l^etween eyes, dark markings on limbs, and light
coloured rump. The horns, mounted on a high pedicle, curve
forwards above the A" and then turn sharply backwards, almost at
right angles ; they are about equal in length to those of jaclcsoni,
good h(M-ns from 24 to 26 inches in length along the front curve.

Best horn measurements (No. 19.7.15.84): — length on front
curve 23^ ; circumference 12 ; S]jread from tip to tip 10|.

This race extends northwards from the Orange Kiver into
Southern Khodesia ainl Bechuanaland.

Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of the
Rooi Hartebeest : — " The range of this Antelope is very similar to
that of the Gemsbuck. It is still found in Griqualand West, in
some parts being fairly plentiful. All along the eastern border of
the Kalahari Desert it is also to be found, and extends as far east
as the river Serule on the road from Bamangwato to Tati. In
the neighbourhood of the saltpans lying between the Botletlie
liiver and the road from Bamangwato to the Zambesi, it is very
plentiful, and may be met with in large herds. It does not,
however, extend its range to the north of these saltpans, and is
unknown in all the country l)etween the Chobe and Mababe rivers,
as it is also in the Matabele and Mashuna countries "'

Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of this
species : — " This fine anteloj^e, whose range is now known to extend
over lai-ge areas of country to the north of the Zambesi in Central
and East Central Africa, as well as over a considerable part of
South-East Africa to the south of that liver, was first discovered
by the German natui-alist, Dr. Peters, in the neighbourhood of
Sena on the lower Zambesi, and by him named after his compatriot,
the traveller Dr. Lichtenstein. South of the point where

Dr. Peters first met with it, this harteheest is found throughout
the greater part of the h)\v-lying' coast-country between the
Zambesi and the Sabi, and although its range has not been
accurately determined in this direction, it probably extends into
certain districts of the eoimtrv to the south of the lower course of
the latter river. This species is fairly common on ])oth sides of
the central and upper course of the Sabi River, as far north as a
point some 50 miles south of Mount Wedza, and from there east-
wards may be met with to within a few miles of Massikessi.
Westwards from the central Sabi a few stragglers range as fai* as
and even beyond the Lunti Kiver, while in 1885 a small herd of
six suddenly appeared in northern Mashonaland, near the Hanyani
River, some 20 miles to the north-west of where Salisbury now

stands Throughout the greater part of the country in which

I have travelled to the north of the Zambesi, I have met with
Liehtenstein's Harteheest ; and it is one of the commonest
antelopes on the Table-lands lying between the Zambesi and the
Kafukwi, as well as all over the country to the north of the latter
river, which is where I first met with it in 1877-78 . . . ."

20 THE SELOUS COLLECTION.

The members of this genus are distinguished from the Harte-
beests by their shorter faces and absence of horn-pedicles, the
f rentals not being specially developed for this purpose as in Alce-
la])hus. In pygargus the height at the shoulder is about 40 inches.
Horns sublyrate, fine horns measure from 15 to 16| inches in
length. Greneral colour rufous brown, dark purplish brown on
fianks and upper parts of limbs, paler on shoulders and saddle.
Conspicuous white blaze on forehead, continued forwards as a
broad nose-stripe. Ears brownish buff. Base of tail and patch on
rump white. Lower parts of limbs white on outer sides. Belly
white, sharjjly marked off from brown Hanks.

Best horn measurements (No. 19. 7. 15. 93) : — length on front
curve 15 ; circumference 6| ; spread from tip to tip 8|. The
best of the two females is No. 19. 7. 15. 97, which has the following
horn measurements : — length on front curve 14| ; circumference
5^ ; spread from tip to tip 6§.

There are only two specimens of this rare Antelope in the
Collection, both being females ; the mounted head. No. 19. 7. 15. 98,
has the longest horns, which measure as follows : — length on front
curve 18g ; circumference 5 ; spread from tip to tip 5g.

The exact position of the typical locality is not known, but was
probably Caj^e Colony. Formerly the Blesbok was found through-
out the northern part of Ca])e Colony^ and its range extended as
far north as Bechuanaland. Like the preceding species, the
Blesbok can no longer be regarded as existing in the wild state ;
it is preserved on a number of farms in the Transvaal, Orange

In the iiieinl)ers of this genus the horns are not united in a
common pedicle, heing more as in the Buffalo with an expanded
basal region. A well-developed mane is present on the neck. The
South African Gnu is distinguished from the other members of
the genus by its white tail, short snout, large orbits, and the shape
of the horns, which in the adult curve forward and downward and
then u])\vard and backward. There is no marked shoulder hump,
but the hind quarters are very pi'ominent. Height at shoulder
about 40 inches. Dorsal vertebne fourteen in number. Good
horns measure from 23 to 26i inches on the front curve.

narrower at base and directed outwards to start with, then curving
upwards and inwards. No long fringe between fore legs, such as
occurs in Connochcetes gnu. General colour considerably greyer,
with a suggestion of dark stripes on neck and shoulders. Tail-
tuft brownish black. Snout long, and dorsal vertebrje thirteen in
number. Distinguished from the white-bearded race by the throat
fringe being ver\" dark brown in colour.

Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of the
Blue Wildebeest in South Africa in 1S81 : — " This animal is met
with on tlie western borders of Griqualand West and all along the
eastern ridge of the Kalahari Desert, and all over South Central
Africa wherever I have travelled from the Limpopo to the
Zambesi, and from the Mashuna country to Lake Ngami it is to be
met with in those districts that are suitable to its habits. Like the
Tsessebc it is partial to open downs devoid of bush, or open glades
in the forest, and is never met with in hilly countries. On the
Mababe Hat it congregates in immense herds during the dry season.
In the Manica country, north of the Zambesi, I did not see any
Blue Wildebeest ; but the natives told me that to the west of the
river Kafukwe, in the country of the Mashukulumbwc, they were
plentiful "

Connochcstes taurlnus mear^isi, has been described by Heller*
from the Loita Plains, Kenya Colony. This form is said to be
rather smaller in size and darker on the legs ; it occupies the area

Typical locality, Cape Colony. This Heedbuck is very widely

races will have to be recognized. At present, the only other
form known is the Fort Jackson Keedbuck, Redunca arundinum

paler and greyer in colour, and in possessing horns that appear
stouter and less curved.

only, No. 19. 7. 15. 282 measuring as follows : — length on front

Typical locality, Cliobe Yalle}' ; range extends from the
Zambesi and Chobe through Northern Rhodesia as far as Lake
Eangweolo.

In the Proceedings of the Zoological Society for the year
1881 (quoted above) Selous gives the following account of the
distribution of this Antelope : — " The only place where I m^'self
met with this Antelope was in a small tract of country extending
along the southern bank of the Chol:)e for about sixty miles
westwards from its junction with the Zambesi.

" They are never found at more than 200 or 300 yards from the
river, and are usually to be seen cropping the short grass along the
water's edge, or lying in the shade of the trees and bushes
scattered over the alluvial flats which ha^'e been formed here and
there by the shifting of the river's bed. Now and then a few
must wander eastwards along the southern bank of the Zambesi as
far as the Victoria Falls, as I saw my friend Mr. J. L. Garden

48 Tirpj SKr.ous collfx'tiox.

shoot one in 1S74 which was standing on the very hrink of the
precipice. This, however, is the only one I have ever seen to the
east of Umparira, tliough I have been several times backwards and
forwards along the river's bank between that place and the
Victoria Falls since. Along the Upper Zambesi from Sesheke to
the Baroutse Valley the natives rejjort them common. Whj' the
Pookoo does not extend its range further westwards along the
southern bank of the Choice I am at a loss to understand, as there
does not appear to be any change in the character of the country
or vegetation to account for it."

Further information is given by Selous in his account of the
Puku in " The Great and Small Game of Africa " * : — " In 1877 I
visited the Chobi liiver a second time, and hunted for several
months along its southern bank, but although this was only three
years after my first visit, when I found pookoo antelopes so
numerous, these animals had already become excessively scarce ; in
fact, had almost ceased to exist. The extermination of the pookoo
in this part of Africa was due to a political convulsion amongst
the Barotsi tribe on the Upper Zambesi, as, during the year 187G,
shortly after the assassination of Sipopo, the chief of the Barotsi,
large numbers of natives fled from their homes on the Zambesi,
crossed the swamps of the Chobi, and camped all along the

southern bank of that river, just in the pookoo ground

During this period of persecution no pookoos moved either farther
westwai'ds along the Chobi, or eastwards along the Zambesi towards
the Victoria Falls, for although I found a few of these antelojjes
still surviving in their old haunts in 1877, there were absolutely
none either to the east or the west of the small tract of country in
which they had been so plentiful in 187-4 "'

In the South African Pala the horns are of medium size only
and considerably more slender than in the East African race.
General colour bright reddish brown ; no dark blaze on face,
a character that distinguishes the typical form from the Angolan
pefersi, in which the muzzle is marked with a blaekisli blaze.

Of the four lieads in tlie Collection the largest horns are those
of No. 19. 7. 1-"). 283: — length on front curve 24| ; straight line

Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of the
Pala in 1881: — "This Antelope I first met with on the Marico
and Notuiini rivers, two tributaries of the Limpopo ; and from
tliere northwards it is to be found along the banks of every river
and stream wherever I have been, except in those places where the
natives have exterminated or driven them awa3\ They are nowhere
more plentiful than along the Chobe, and may often be seen in

from the Northern Gruaso Nyiro and Turkwel Kiver in the north,
southwards towards the Tanganyika Territory boundary, where it
probably merges with the closely allied race siiara described by
Matschie * from the Kilimanjaro District. It may be, that when
more material is available for examination, it will be found that the
Kilimanjaro and Northern Guaso Nyiro Imjialas represent one race
only, in which case the name given by Matschie would have to
be adopted for the Impala of Kenya Colony and Tanganyika
Territory.

Lydekker and Blaine * considered the Thomson Gazelle from the

Kilimanjaro. There has evidently been a mistake made, as the
authors state that " the absence of the nose-spot, upon which this
supposed race was founded, does not appear to be a constant
character of the Gazelles of this district." The race was founded

bounded by the thick forests which run east and west, south of the
Milbabe river. I believe that to the west of Lake Ngami it has a
more extensive range northwards."

" I have twice met with the Roan Antelope to the south of
Bamangwato — once on the Limpopo and once on the Notuani.
In the neighbourhood of the Tati in south-western Matabele Land
it is not uncommon, and all along the road from there to the
Zambesi it may be met with, though nowhere plentiful. As far
as I have been along the Chobe it is to be found sparingly, and
also in the Mababe country. Throughout the Mashuna country it
is tolerably plentiful, and in the Manica country north of the
Zambesi I saw a good man}^ In fact it is to be found over a
vast extent of country in Central South Africa, but is nowhere to
be met with in large numbers."

62 THE SKI.Ol'S ("OLLECTTON.

Writing in ISSl* Selous makes the following statement about
the distribution of the Sable Antelope : — " At the present day
a few tSable Antelopes are still to be found in South-western
Matabele Land, in the neighbourhood of Ivamokwebani, Shashani,
and Samookwe rivers (tributaries of the Shashe). Along the
waggon-road leading from Tati to the Zambesi it may be
met with here and there, Init is decidedly scarce. All along
the Chobe river, as far as I have been, I have met with this
Antelope, though sparingly. In the Mababe country, and on the
road leading from there to Bamangwato, I neither saw a Sable
Antelope nor the spoor of one, and do not think its range extends
so far to the west. In the broken countr}^ to the south of the
Victoria Falls, in the neighbourhood of the Pendamatenka and
Daka rivers, it is not uncommon, but its true home is the higher
portions of the Mashuna country to the north-east of the Matabele

country On the Manica plateau, north of the Zambesi,

Sable Antelopes are also to be met with."

From examination of the material in the Musemn Collection

THE SELOUS COLTiECTION. 05

Selous in his account of the liushlnicks of Sovith Africa *
states as follows: — "In speaking of this antelope, I include all the
Bushbucks that I have met with in diffei-ent parts of the country,
and which, although those found on the hanks of the Chobe are
very different at first sight, both as regards size and colour, from
those met with in the Cape Colony, I believe to be all specifically
identical.

" This Antelope is found everywhere in the belt of bush running
all along the coast-line of the Cape Colony and Natal, and which
in some places extends to a considerable distance inland. Along
the Limpopo and some of its tributaries it is also found, but does
not extend its range far up the latter. Then if we cross the water-
shed between that river and the Zambesi, we again meet with it on
the banks of the latter river and on the lower part of some of its
tributaries, such as the Gwai and Sanyati. In certain districts along
the southern bank of the Chobe it is more common than anywhere
else. It is, however, never met with except in places where dense
bush comes right down to the water's edge, and on the Chobe,
where I have seen most of these Antelopes, I have never found
one at a distance of 100 yards from the river. From the Cape
Colony to the Chobe all the Bushbucks I have seen have a bare
place round the neck, as if they had worn a broad collar, that had
rubbed off all the long hair, leaving nothing but a soft velvety
down. It is worthy of remark that the North-African
Bushbuck {Tragelapliua script its') has not this bare place round
the neck. In the Cape Colony the adult Bvishbuck rams are of a
deep dark brownish-black colour, with only two or three small
white spots on the haunch and one or two on the shoulder. The
adult females are of a light reddish browai, with white spots on the
haunches, and sometimes a few between the shoulder and the
ilank. The young rams are of a reddish brown, more or less
spotted. On the Limpopo the adult rams are of a brownish gray,
often without a sign of any spots, and the adult females of a dark
red, with a few white sjDots. The hair of the rams is longer than
in the Colony

"This is' the Bushbuck which Gordon Cumming considered to
be a new and undescribed s^^ecies and named the *■ Antelopus

roiialeynei^ or 'Bushbuck of the Limpopo.' These Bushbucks

are smaller tlian those found in the Cape Colony If we

now take the Bushhucks found on the banks of the Chohe, we
find that the adult male is of a very dark red colour, in places
merging into a deep brownish black, most beautifully spotted with
large white spots, there being as many as fifty on each side in
some individuals, and in some cases as many as eight well-defined
white stripes besides. There is also a mane of white hair running
all down the back from the shoulder to the tail, about 3 inches in

length, and which the animal can erect at pleasure "

known as TrcKjeJapluis script us sj/hudieus.

Size very large, height at sliouUler 50 to 52 inches. Differs
from the Lesser Kudu in having a well-developed fringe on throat
and chest, and much larger horns, in good specimens from 55 to
6-i inches along curve. (Jeneial colour of hody greyish l)roAvn,
sometimes hluish gi'ey or tinted with rufcnis ; nine or ten transverse
white stripes on side of body. In the East African and Sudan
races the body stripes are less numerous.

The Collection contains a verj- line series of this handsome
Antilope. No. 19.7.15.417 has the best horns: — length on
curve 60| ; in straight line from jjoint to base 4'5f ; circun)ference

No. 19. 7. 15. 420, which has the following horn measurements : —
length on curve 63f ; in straight line from point to l)ase 41 ;
circumference 10 ; spread from tip to tip 23|. The spread of the
iiorns is very variable; the maximum tip to tip interval in this
series occurs in No. 19. 7. 15. 426, being as much as 43 inches.
The minimum spread from tip to tip is 10 inches (No. 19.7. 15.428).
The female head (No. 19. 7. 15. 419) is a verj^ exceptional specimen
as it possesses well-developed horns, one of which measures as
much as 30| inches from ])oint to base. Selous* writing in his
diary of this specimen makes the following statement : — " 1 rode
on to the carcase of this Koodoo cow just after it had been killed
by wild dogs, which I drove off, when near Bamangwato in
Khama's country in March, 1888. Altogether I have seen many
hundreds of female Koodoos, but this is the only one I ever .saw
with horns."

Ty])ical locality. Cape Colony ; range extends northwai-ds across
Zambesi into Northern Rhodesia. Writing in 1881 f on the
distribution of the Kudu in South Africa, Selous makes the
following remarks : — " A few Koodoos still linger in the Cape
Colony, and in parts of Griqualand West they are not uncommon.

From the Limpopo to the Zambesi, however, and in the Manica
country to the north of the Zambesi, it is found in the neighboui--
hood of every river I have visited except in those places where the
natives have exterminated it. It is usually partial to hilly country
covered with dense thickets ; but hills are by no means necessary
to its existence, as it is common in the thick bush along both
banks of the riv'er Chobe, where there are no hills whatever, and
it is also plentiful in the wait-a-bit thorn-jungle on the lower
Molapo, just on the edge of the ilat and sandy Kalahari Desert . .

MASHONALAND ELAND.

Taurotragus oryx SELOUSI.

and 3, 1881.

p. 328, 1910 ; ed. 7, p. 330, 1914.

Elands are cliaracterised by their very large size and the
presence of horns in both sexes, those of the females longer and
more slender than in the males ; horns with a large keel, and in the
form of a screw-like spiral. The Mashonaland Eland is closely
allied to the t^'pical race, Taurofrogus oryx oryx, distinguished by
the presence of a number of light body-stripes, which are well-
defined in immature specimens, but tend to become very indistinct
in old age. In young and sub-adult specimens a white suborbital
streak is present ; in old males this marking disappears, the whole
forehead and upper part of nose being covered b}' a dense tuft-like
growth of broAvn hair.

The male head with the best horns is No. 19.7.15.484: —
length from point to base 31 1 ; circumference 13 ; spread from tip
to tip 12. A considerable amount of variation is found in the
spread of the horns of this antelope ; in one specimen (No.
19. 7. 15. 439) the tip to tip interval is as much as 20^ inches.
The largest female horns (No. 19. 7. 15. 437) measure as follows : —
length from point to base 32 ; circumference 8| ; spread from tip
to tip 20f .

Typical locality, Umfuli River, Mashonaland, Southern
Rhodesia. Selous *, writing in 1881 on the distribution of the
South African Elands, states as follows: — "The Eland is now
extinct in the Cape Colony, Natal, the Orange Free State, Gricpia-
land West, and the Transvaal, and almost so in all the countries
watered by the tributaries of the Limpopo, to the west of the
Matabele countr3^ In the Kalahari Desert to the west of Secheli's
and Bamangwato it is plentiful, but never now comes as far east-
ward as the waggon-road between the two places. North of
Bamangwato, along the roads leading to the Lake Ngami, and to
the Victoria Falls of the Zambesi, there are always a few Elands to

*= Proc. Zool. Soc. 1881, p. 749.

TltE sELOtiS COLLliCltOJS-. 73

be found, though they are usually veiy scarce In all the

country between the Botletlie and Chobe rivers, Elands are still
to be found in greater or lesser numbers, and I have often seen
herds of over a hundred together. In the dry desert country

through which the Chobe runs they are particularly plentiful

Between the Chobe and Zambesi rivers I found Elands plentiful, and
so far as I went to the north of the Zambesi I also found them. . . "

The characters that have been used to distinguish the various
races or so-called races of South African Eland are very unsatis-
factory, and it seems highly probable that in this area only two
forms can be recognized- — (1) the extinct Cape Eland, the typical
race; and (2) the Zambesi or Mashonaland race. If such be the
case the present form would have to be called liviac/stonei, a name
bestowed b}' Sclater on the Zambesi Eland in 1864*, and the nam.es
seJoiisi, nieJ/'ecki, and Jcaufmaiuii wovdd become synonymous.
The absence of the white suborbital marking and extreme develop-
ment of the dark frontal tuft are signs of old age ; the shape and
extent of these white suborbital markings and frontal tufts are
obviously characters associated with sex and age, and cannot be
used for systematic diagnosis. The same is true of the almost
complete disappearance of some of the Avhite body-stripes, which
in old age appear to get very indistinct, although never entirely
absent as they are in both the young and adult of the typical race
from the Cape.

In this connection it is of interest to see what Selous' view
was in 1881 when he wrote the ^^aper for the Zoological Society
quoted above.

"The skins of Elands that I have seen from the Kalahari desert
have no signs of a stripe ujwn them, and the dark mark above the
knee on the inside of the fore leg is either yevy faint or altogether
wanting. In April 1879 I shot several Eland cows about sixty
miles north of liamangwato, on the road to Lake Ngami. I
looked at all of them very carefully, but could not detect the
faintest sign of a stripe, though some of them had the patches on
the inside of the fore legs of a light gray colour. During the

following months 1 shot numy Elands on the eastern bank of the
Eotletlie river, on the Mababe, and on both sides of the Chobe
river. Every one of these Elands was more or less striped, some so
faintly as to be barely perceptible, some very plainly. In the
Mashuna country, again, to the north-east of the Matabele
country, every Eland cow is very plainly stri])ed, many of them
having the stripes quite as plain as they are on a Koodoo, and the
patches on the inside of the fore legs of a deep black. The one
Eland (a cow) which I shot to the north of the Zauibesi was
beautifully mai'ked, having nine broad white stripes on each side,
and a broad black line down the centre of the back. Elands that
are much striped often have a whitish mark across the nose, in the
same place as in the Koodoo.

" Old Eland bulls have very little hair on their skins, and look a
dark slaty-blue colour, owing to the colour of the skin showing
through the scanty hair, and on these old animals, naturally
enough, no sign of stripes can be perceived. Old cows also turn
to a slate colour from the same cause. In every large herd of
Elands, cows are to be seen of'eveiy shade of colour from pale
fawn to bluish gray. Therefore your old hunter, who knows of
four species of Lions, and six or seven Khinoceroses, says that there
are two or three distinct species of Elands, the blue, the yellow,
and the striped "

Aery closely allied to the foregoing race ; general colour rather
darker, with a darker mane. As in the case of the Mashonaland
race the white suborbital markings ai'e only present in animals not
very advanced in age, and similarly the gradual increase of size of
the frontal tuft from a dark central streak to a broad long-haired
growth is also a change brought about b}' age.

Size equal to that of rothschildi. Anterior horn reduced to an
inconspicuous lump. Colour pattern much the same, ground
colour dirty buff, and blotches dark brown, rather more indistinct
than in rothschildi; shanks deep tawny and spotted to hoofs. In
rothschildi the spots on the legs do not extend beyond the hocks
and knees, and the ground colour of the shanks is almost white.

Typical locality. South Africa, north of the Orange River.
Selous * gives the following information on the distribution of this
Giraffe in the year 1881: — "This animal, though its range has
been sadly reduced since the days of Gordon Cumming, is never-
theless still to be found in considerable numbers over a vast extent
of country to tlie south of the Zambesi river. In parts of the
Kalahari desert it is said to abound, and in all the dry sandy
district between Bamangwato and Lake Ngami, and thence to the
Mababe, Chobe, and Zambesi rivers, it is also very numerous.
Along portions of the Botletlie river, and in the waterless but
forest-clad sand-belts on the southern bank of the Chobe, it is
particularly plentiful. In the country between the Chobe and the
Zambesi, the Giraffe is also found, in the neighbourhood of
Linyanti ; but it is not nearl}- so numerous there as on the other
side of the former river. Inniiediately north of the Zambesi it is
unknown, though it appears to be plentiful in parts of Central and
Eastern Africa. In some parts of the Matabele covuitiy it is also
common, but until the last few 3'ears was never found eastwards of
the river Gwelo, though it Avas always very plentiful in the sand-
belts to the westward of that river "

In size very little inferior to the White or Square-mouthed
Khinoceros, distinguished by the shorter head, the skull being con-
siderably shorter and not elongated posteriorly beyond condyles ;
seven cheek-teeth on each side, the first premolar remaining
thi'oughout life. Front horn with rounded base. Upper lip
pointed and hook-shaped. The prominent liump on the neck, so
characteristic a feature of s/mns, is absent. The typical race is
very like the Somali form, size rather larger, and "vvith skull
slightly more concave dorsally.

Typical locality, Caj^e Colony. The range at one time extended
from the Cape northwards to Uganda ; at the present time the
Black llhinoceros is quite extinct in Cape Colony and is only found
in a f-ew localities soutli of the Zambesi. In East Africa this race
is not found in the desert regions of the Northern Guaso Nyiro or
east of the Tana River, where its place is taken by the Somali
form. It ajipeai's that the Black Khinocei'os was exterminated in
Cape Colony and the Orange River Colony by the year 1S5;J.

THE SET,Ors C()M,I-;cri()N. S8

Selous* gives the following account of the distrihution of this
llhinoceros during the period 1872 to 1881. "... 1 now l-ouic lo
the Prehensile-lipped Khinoceros ( /j*. hiconiis'), of which 1 main-
tain there is hut one true species, in spite of whatever may he said
h\' old Dutch hunters or natives to the eontrarv. This animal is
still fairh' numerous in many districts of 8outh-Eastern Africa,
although, like its congener, the Square-mouthed Rhinoceros, it has
been almost exterminated in the more westerly porticnis of the
country. In 1879 there were still two or three drinking in the
Upper Cliobe, to the nortli-west of tlie Sunta outlet. Eetwcen
the Chobe and the Zamhesi there are none, and accordiny- to the
natives there never were any tliere, even wlien the Malcololo first
came into the country ; but directly the Zamhesi has been crossed
they are again found, and extend a})parently through all Central
Africa right up to Abyssinia. Tlie Prehensile-lipped llhinoceios
lives exclusively upon bush and roots, eating not only the voung
leaves as they sprout from the end of a twig, Init also chewing up
a good deal of the twig itself. It is owing to the fact that this
species lives upon bush that its range is very mucli more extended
than that of the Square-mouthed llhinoceros ; for there are many
large districts of country in the neighbourhood of the Zambesi
to the eastward of the Victoria Palls covered almost entirely with
an endless succession of rugged lulls, almost devoid of grass, thouyh
well wooded, in all of which districts the Prehensile-lipped Rhino-
ceros is numerous, as it thrives well upon the scrubby Imsh with
which the hill-sides and valleys are covered; wiiereas the s(piare-
mouthed species, though common in the forest-clad sand-belts and
broad grassy valleys which always skirt the hills, is seldom or
never found amongst the hills themselves, which is d(»ubtless
because the jjasturage is too scanty to enable them to exist. . . ."

It was in the same paper that Selous very clearly showed that
liliinoceroti l-cifloii f was simply a variety of bicoi-ui.--

Typical locality, Cape Cohtny ; range foi-uiei'l}' extended over the
greater jiart of Africa south of the Zambesi. As a wild animal
the South African White Ivhinoceros is now extinct, a few still
survl\'e in a semi-wild state under Government protection.

Writing in the year ISSl concerning the White Ivhinoceros
Selous states as follows * : — " . . . Twenty years ago this animal
seems to have been very plentiful in the western half of Southern
Africa ; now, unless it is still to be found between the Okavango
and (Junene rivers, it must be almost extinct in that portion of
the country. And this is not to be wondered at, when one reads
the accounts in Andersson's and Chapman's books of their shooting
as many as eight of these animals in one night, as the}'' were
drinking at a small water-hole ; for it must be remembered that
these isolated water-holes, at the end of the dry season, represented
all the water to be found over an enormous extent of country, and
that therefore all the rhinoceroses that in ha}»pier times were dis-
tributed ovei' many hundreds of square miles were in times of
drought dependent upon perhaps a single ])ool for their supply of
water. In 1<S77, during several months' hunting in the country to
the south of Lin^^anti, on the i-iver Chobe, I only saw the spoor of
two Squa re-mo vithed Ehinoceroses, though in 1874 I had found
them fairly plentiful in the same district ; whilst in 1870, during
eight months spent in hunting on and between the Botletlie,
Mababe, Machabe, Sunta, and Upper Chobe rivers, I never saw
the spoor of one of these animals, and all the Bushmen I met with
said they were finished. In 1878 and 1880, however, I still found
them fairty numerous in a small tract of country in North-eastern
Mashuna Land, between the Umniati and Hanyane rivers. Their
range, however, is rather limited towards the north, as they only
inhabit the country lying to the south of tlie belt of rough ston}^
hills which in this district extend for more than a hundred miles
southwards from the banks of the Zambesi river. Their exter-
mination in this' portion of the countr^^ may therefore, I am afraid,

jaw and throat. In this respect they are unlike those of other
East African Elephants "
