In Ngamiland and the North Kalahari region the white rhino was formerly plentiful. As I ascertained while hunting in that direction in 1890, it had been finished for some years past.

Ceratotherium simum. As far as can be presently learned, the white rhino has been exterminated even in its last strongholds in N.E. Mashonaland.
