sa,,blance is closest. 1t is there alone
that the other large manlike ape-the
orang-dwells; and there is group OF
brush-tailed porcupines common to these
two districts, and unknown elsewhere
throughout the wide world Both faunas,
however, in all probability, trace their
descent from the animals inhabiunS Eu-
rope during the Pliocene and Miocene
epochs, among which was an extinct spe-
cies of water chevrotain.
The other great sub-regions include the
open grazing grounds and mountains OF
South and East Africa, the fauna of which
Is quite different from that Of the equa-
torial forest tract Minor divisions may
also be recognized in this area. the Cape
having many animals not found further
north Among the latter are the So
called white rhnoceros the pretty little
meerkat, the long cared fox. and the Cape
sand-moe, which, by the way. has nothing
to do with true moles, being q member
of the rodent order. This tract. as a whole,
may be termed the eaSt-central sub-re-
gion. and TO it belong the great hosts
Of antelopes, the zebras, and the aard-
wolf and hunting dog. Very character
istic of the southern and eastern parts OF
this tract are the beautiful golden moles,
unique among mammals for the lovely
which have comparatively nothing in
common with the moles Of Europe and
Asia. To the northward, in Abyssinia
this tract Is the home Of another very
remarkable animal. the great gelada
baboon, easily recognized by the lon-like
mantle of long hair on the fore-quarters,
whose nearest relatives are the ordinary
balloons of Africa.
Whether Somaliland should be included
in this area, or should have a division to
itself, may admit of argument: but, at
any rate, it has many peculiar animals,
among which are a number of antelopes,
some of which but recently made known
to science.
lastly we have the Sahara subregion,
which contains q comparatively limited
fauna, passing by almost insensible de-
grees into that of Northern Africa.
In some respects. especially In its gala
Cos, the fauna OF Africa presents GER
tain resemblance to that of Madagascar
but the connection between that island
and the mainland was evidently very re-
mote. and must have taken place before
the great incursion of anteiopes zebras
rhinoceroses. monkeys. elephants. etc
from the north, as none OF these are
found in the island. Madagascar. there
fore, Is best regarded as forming 9
geological province by itself
Within the limits Of single article II
Is manifestly impossible TO give anything
like an adequate sketch OF the fauna OF
such an extensive area, but such points
as have been noticed serve TO show In
some faint degree its richness In peculiai
forms Of animal life.

CARE FOR THE WOUNDED
Rapid Preparations Being Made for
Their Comfort and Relief.

WASHINGTON, July lowing to the
many conflicting reports of the losses
OF the American troops in yesterdays
engagement, it has been thought best by
the War Department officials to make
public the text Of General Skaters last
dispatch, received this morning at 4
O'clock 1t IL as follows:
''Siboney. via Playa del Este, July l.
"Adjutant- General, Washington, ID. c.:
Il fear / have underestimate to-days
casualties. A large and thoroughly
equipped hospital ship should be sent
here at once to care for the wounded
The chief surgeon says he has use for
forty more medical officers. The ship
must bring a launch and boats for con-
Voying the wounded.
(SigneO "SHAFTER,
"Major-General Commanding"
Immediately upon receiving General
Skaters telegram the surgeon-general OF
the army called on Van Revpen, the sur
geon-general Of the navy, and the two
held long conference regarding the
course to be taken. Fortunately, the
mbulance-ship Solace is now in the vi
entity of General Skaters army and
she will be utilized for any emergency
cases which may arise. While the navy
ship Solace is designed primarily for
the use or the fleet, she Will be put at the
disposal of the army whenever that may
be necessary, and the navy and army
ships will be used INTERCHANGEABLE. The
Solace is fully as we'll adapted for treat
ing the wounded as her sister ship of the
army and has accommodations for seVe-
raj hundred men. The last heard from
the Solace she was at Guantanamo Bay, a
short distance from the cable station
from which the dispatches are sent
WOUNDED TO BE CARED FOR.
Hurried preparations are being made
by the War Department 10 send 10 Gem

department which he asked for 10 attend

OF yesterdays battle. The hospital-ship

thorough oyerhaulng at New York, Is
about ready to start for Santiago. She
was scheduled TO have sailed yesterday,
but owing 10 some delay was unable TO
get of at that time. and will leave to-
day. The relief has been fitted out In an
admirable manner for the treatment of
the sick and wounded, and every COM
fort possible viii be provided for the
unfortunates. There Is a surgeon In
charge. with a full corps Of competent
assistants and a complete outfit for sur
gicai work In cases where this is neces-
sarv.
CAN PROVIDE FOR 500.
Accommodations for probably 500 per-
sons have been provided, and. in addition.
there has been installed In the ship a
ring apparatus. which has facilities
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-07-03

for making a great deal more than is
needed aboard-ship. The surplus Will
be utilized in supplying the hospitals
ashore in the immediate vicinity OF the
ships. OF course, the greater number u
cases of sickness and wounded primarily
will be treated in the regimental and d.
vision hospital, while the Relief will be
utilized to a great extent in bringing back
TO the United States such cases of con-
valescents and the more serious cases o.
sickness which it is felt should be brought
here for treatment.

Some idea OF the huge extent Of the
African Continent may be gained by
comparing its size on the map with that
OF india. Allowing for some slight over
laps. no less than six Indias can be
traced on the map of Africa; and as
these leave between them and their mar
gins considerable spaces of the country
still uncovered, it would be but mode
rate estimate that Africa includes at
least seven times the area Of British
India.
Northern Africa has, so far as Its AMI
