The following day we marched into Nakuru, througha region of very coarse, sour grass, where we saw littleor no game. We had been away thirty-four days onthis Baringo trip, and had secured forty-four selectedheads of large game, including twelve diff*erent species,besides ostrich and kori bustard.

Several zebraseen here were quite red in colour, the result of rollingin the ruddy soil. No two zebras are alike in their striping. Not onlyso, but each zebra differs in pattern on one side as com-pared with the other. This is easily seen on examininga flat skin. Three such lie before me, and in no singlestripe is there regularity or repetition. Though corre-sponding pairs of stripes start from the dorsal ridge moreor less equal—never quite so—yet each individual stripequickly develops a different form. Should that on theright be carried continuously down to the ventral line,its fellow on the left wiU either bifurcate or blend withits immediate neighbour, whether in front or behind.Another may break off abruptly, or perhaps be inter-rupted by a broken white line.
