Reisen in Nord-Ost-Afrika: Tagebuch einer Reise von Chartum nach Abyssinien, mit besonderer Rucksicht auf Zoologie und Geographie unternommen in dem Jahre 1852 bis 1853

source of the Ambo, 2 ? hours from Merdibba. In the evening, when setting up camp, we saw a rhinoceros, which calmly looked into the fire. I shot six bulklets at it which hit the thick skull, and the animal disappeared. The next day, I sent people to look for the rhinoceros, but they said that they lost its tracks in the Gira. I doubt the truth of this, especially because a few days later some people offered a fresh horn to me for sale, which was just about as big as that of the animal which I had wounded.

travel April 1852, near Merdibba. In this region there are numerous elephant and buffalo, and sometimes one fins here the rhinoceros.
