Farther up the railway the species is Neumann's hartebeest, while still beyond, on the Guas Ngishu Plateau and the Mau escarpment, the species is called Jackson's hartebeest.

In the main the three varieties are almost the same; it is in the horns that the chief distinction lies, with lesser differences in color and stature.

The hunter has been allowed to kill ten of each on his license, but under the new game ordinance in force since December, 1909, only four Jackson's are allowed and twenty Coke's instead of ten.
[Drawing: _The Young Kongoni Is Very Funny_] When we went across the Guas Ngishu Plateau in early November we saw thousands of Jackson's hartebeest, and never a calf.

When we came back in late December and early January we saw hundreds and hundreds of calves, many of them less than a day old.

The stork must have been busy, for they all arrived at once.
