Three species in S Africa. There are 3 kinds of which I saw two and which I shall describe to you. The first was shot by a certain Jacob Kr?ger on the 24th December between the Cosje Fontijn and Klaboeligani Fonteijn. We ascertained that it belonged to the male sex and to the so-called black variety called Sekloa by the Boeshoeana. On the 31st of the following month one of our men succeeded in killing a female rhinoceros at the IJzer Fonteijn. She was of the type known to us as the White Rhinoceros and known to the Boeshoeana by the name Magveoe. Of a third variety known to the Boeshoeana as Kina--- our interpreter gave us explanation - according to him it was smaller than the two other varieties, and kept to the mountains, more irritable by nature so that they were more dangerous when followed than the others, supplied with two horns, one behind the other.
Three species - S Africa. We learned that there were two other species, namely, a huge white one, known by the native name of magveoe, the other smaller and frequenting the hills, named kemen jana. Ultimately, Mr Kruger succeeded in shooting a female of the white species. Her characteristics were the same as the other, but of a light grey colour.
