Wrong rhino figures

I have been misquoted in the table giving the rhino population of Samburu-Isiolo Game Reserve in 1973. The implication is that John Barkham and I estimated a population of 69. Only five rhino were seen during our aerial survey, which covered 25% of the reserve area, and we therefore estimated a population of only 20 rhinos in the whole reserve. During the same survey, a population of 59 rhino was estimated for the 2200 km? area around and including the game reserve. Furthermore, during our three months field-working period in the reserve, the six-member expedition saw rhino on only four occasions. Conclusion reached in 1973: `The rhino are very shy and have suffered greatly from poaching on the edges of the reserve in the north and the south where their remaining strongholds lie.' There may now be 10 rhino remaining.
