Girsns.s In Central AfrIca.

From time to time 1t has been ru-
mored that girafYes 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. Last month. however. CIR
afYe was shot on the east bank Of the
Loangwa in the Marimba district. by
European prospector. and Its skin lin
completely sent In to Capt. Chichester,
in Mpezeni's country. The hinder half
of the skin 10 being sent to the British
museum, and It II hoped that com
plete specimen may now be obtained.
The existence OF CRATES In Miranda
Is remarkable. the area In which they
are found Ia extremely restricted, and
their number appears to be very few.
The one shot. however. was in q herd
Of about thirty-hve. The nearest coun-
try north Of Mariamba. In which Cir
affes are known to exist, is north Of
Mareres, where the Elton -Cotterill ex-
pedition met With them (many years
ago). To the south Of Matabeleland
is the nearest giraffe country.
