The common rhinoceros was formerly widespread throughout the whole of South Africa, though now it has been driven out of all the more accessible districts. At the end of the last century it was still common along the south coast of the Colony, Colonel Gordon shot one on the Gamka River, in what is now Oudtshoorn and Sparrman obtained his specimen near the junction of the Fish rivers in Somerset East
