A third, but seldom accessible, is above on the roof of the skull, whilst a fourth lies on either side, behind the aural foramina at the back of the skull. These spots being thus defined, a great deal depends on the direction in which the bullet strikes, and an exact knowledge of the formation of the skull as well as a sure eye and a steady hand are essential to ensure success in hunting these SKULLS OF AFRICAN ELEPHANTS. But we must get back to camp now. The valley in which we had halted ran on for some distance further, but was much encumbered in certain portions; we therefore crossed the base of Mount Nyiro at the beginning of the next march. The volcanic jDlateau facing Mount Nyiro on the west gradually increases in height further on, and becomes merged in lofty highlands, also of volcanic formation, which present a perfect chaos of wild ravines and perpendicular precipices. After a march of many hours we reached the somewhat less rugged northern end of Mount Nyiro, finding it to form a ridge.
