We then went on on high land, and saw many hartebeests and zebra, but did not get one, though a buffalo was knocked over.

We crossed a rivulet, and away over beautiful and undulating hills and vales, covered with many trees and jambros fruit.

Sleep at a running rill.
_16th January, 1872._--A very cold night after long-continued and heavy rain.

Our camp was among brakens.

Went E.and by S.along the high land, then we saw a village down in a deep valley into which we descended.
Then up another ridge in a valley and along to a village well cultivated--up again 700 feet at least, and down to Merera's village, hid in a mountainous nook, about 140 huts with doors on one side.
