The large number of rhinoceros which used to live in the bush north and south of the Tsavo River have been much reduced, but probably numbers of these have moved down to the Athi River. As an instance, the writer counted 54 different frsh tracks between Tsavo station and the mouth of the Rombo in 1913, and on an early patrol in August 1914 during the war, saw 18 in three hours from Kivukoni while travelling due south, but at the present moment only an odd rhino is to be seen or heard. Many still exist, but they are much reduced in numbers.
