HORNS OF THE BONGO DISPLAYED BY 'NDOROBO HUNTER In wet dark forests (Mau Escarpment, Uasin Gishu) six thousand feet above sea level, the elusive bongo follows its trails, hunted by the 'Ndorobo natives and the forest leopard. We may con- sider this antelope (Boocercus eurucerux inaaei) a highland representative of the eland. Both male and female bear the long sharp horns with which it is said they break down high branches to browse on the leaves. The color is bright chestnut with a dozen conspicu- ous white stripes across the back. Specimens for a United States National Mu- seum group were shot by Kermit after five days' hunting through the almost impenetrable forest. The distribution of the species is as remarkable as that of the giant eland — it occurs only in the small area in British East Africa (from Mau Escarpment east to Mt. Kenia) and far over on the west coast along the Gulf of Guinea. Fewer than a half dozen white men have ever seen the bongo in its native haunt 343
