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. Not a single pair runssimilar throughout, though a curious co-relation is nearlyalways apparent. 254 ON SAFARI This by-play is not coufined to tlie main body-stripes,but is specially conspicuous in the network of minorText Appearing After Image:HEADS OF cokes HARTEBEEST—(MALES).

The one consistent feature is constant dis-similarity. Beyond the rocky ranges to the north are splendidstretches of mixed woodland and pasturage ; but these,in March, are devoid of game. The heat at this period passed description, and thediscomfort was accentuated by torrential rain-burstsdaily, producing a plague of vicious-biting insects andmosquitoes in millions. We, having mosquito-curtains(mine were rigged here for the first time this year),partially escaped that terror ; but not a man of oursafari could get a wink of sleep at nights, and generaldiscontent prevailed.

Red Hartebeest (Alcelaphus caama syn: Alcelaphus buselaphus caama) in Bontebok National Park near Swellendam, Western Cape, South Africa. Photographed on 18 June 2012.There is some confusion as to whether this is a true species or a subspecies in the Alcelaphus buselaphus complex. I have followed what EOL have appeared to accept at this stage.www.inaturalist.org/observations/52624141
