Only horn legally obtained may be exported officially. Figures of government sales for the past five years, supplied by P. Morris, have been: 23 lbs in 1964, 10 lbs. in 1965; 10 lbs. in 1966 and 18 lbs. in 1967. Uys considers that there is a considerable traffic in illegal horn, and that horn confiscated or handed in as government trophies should not be sold, as even a legal sale maintains an illicit market. There can be no doubt of the need for a complete ban on trade in rhinoceros horn.
