Text Appearing Before Image:
20 miles. Travelling eastward from Hodayu they gradually appeared to grow less plentiful,and the last record I have of having seen one was about 150 miles from Hodayu.After this I saw no more until between Dagha Dalola and Mudug, about 130 milesfrom tbe former, in the Mijourten country. Here I was surprised to find them again veryplenti ul for three days, and I saw a few on the following three days, after which theyagain ceased. A week afterwards I found them again plentiful in the Marehan country,gradually diminishing in numbers as we travelled south; the last I saw was about40 miles before we struck the Webbe Shebeyli. On the homeward journey I came 225 across an odd pair now.and then in the south of the Ogaden country. I have markedvery roughly (see map, fig. 84) the belts within which I found them most plentiful.I do not remember having seen more than eight together. In the Mijourtcn andMarehan country I have found them quite close to Barao, and most plentiful in country Fig. 84.
