In April 1905 when I was carrying our boat-sections from. Kaddai to the Kowa-Baga there^ were many elephants frequenting the large belts by the Lake. In the Shari region, after leaving Fort Lamy, elephants are to be found in the Baghirmi country; but they are continually shifting their quarters as they are much harried by the natives, who hunt them on horseback with poisoned spears which leave their heads buried in the animal, whose tracks are then followed—sometimes for two days—to the place where it eventually succumbs to the poison.
