Everywhere he is decreasing in numbers, the natives south-west of the Nile-Congo Divide spearing a great many annually for the price of their horns. Throughout the Welle region of the Congo, after the annual grass fires have opened up the country, the bleached bones of these animals are common and conspicuous objects amongst the burnt and blackened surroundings. Only on the British side of the watershed has the species, until within the last year, I think, been afforded anything like protection, and as regards the Congo this has largely been brought about by both American and British Press representation, which Capt. Carpenter seems to disparage.
