GIRAFFES IN AFRICA.
Few Specimens Have Been Found
in the Central Part of the
Dark Continent.

From time to time it has been ru-
mored that giraffes existed in British
Central Africa, on the Loangwa river,
but, although that river valley has been
frequently visited during the last ten
years by Europeans, no authentic in
formation on the point has ever been
obtained, says the British Central At
rican Gazette. Recently, however, a
giraffe was shot on the east bank of the
Loangwa, in the Marimba district, by a
European prospector, and its skin Tin
completely sent in to Capt. Chichester, in
Mpezenfs country. The hinder half of
the skin is being sent to the British
museum, and it is hoped that COM
plete specimen may now be obtained.
The existence of giraffes in Marimba
is remarkable; the area in which they
are found is extremely restricted, and
their number appears to be very few.
The one shot, however, was in a herd of
about 35. The nearest country north
of Marimba in which giraffes are known
TO exist is north of Mareres, where the
EltoI-Cotterill expedition met with
them many years ago. To the south
Matabeleland is the nearest giraffe
country.
