Tra tutte le gameregulations che si occupano di questo argomento il miglior modello sembra essere il terzo calendario di quelli in vigore in Uganda e in Africa orientale britannica, che evita troppe distinzioni, ma divide gli animali protetti in quelli di cui due soli possono essere uccisi, e le specie comuni, la cui limite dieci. Questo è meglio che moltiplicare i limiti arbitrari. Poi, per quanto riguarda la questione difficile

. Two African trips, with notes and suggestions on big game preservation in Africa; . ed in this sacred list, others, as I have said, receive protection by a limit being placedon the number allowed to be killed. Of all the gameregulations dealing with this subject the best model seemsto be the third schedule of those in force in Uganda andBritish East Africa, which avoids too many distinctions, but divides the protected animals into those of which twoonly may be killed, and the commoner kinds, whose limitis ten. This is better than multiplying arbitrary limits. Then as to the difficult question of elephants, difficultbecause of the high money value of their tusks. In noterritory do they receive complete protection. The numberallowed to be killed by one sportsman is generally limited, and the export of tusks under 11 lbs. in weight is prohibited.Most of the reserves are too small to afford protection tosuch a traveller as the elephant, and in the largest of them, the White Nile reserve, where it is getting rare, it isallowed to be killed by officers. I am personally opposed. BIG GAME PRESERVATION 137 to the destruction of elephants at all, on the ground that, valuable as they are for their ivory, that will soon cometo an end at the present rate of destruction, and thatthey might be still more valuable as weight-carriers. Thatis, perhaps, a counsel of perfection, but that they requiresome far more effective protection is obvious to every onewho has studied the subject. Some years ago an Englishmansold, on his return to the coast, the produce of his trip inivory for £8000. The hundreds of elephants necessary toproduce this amount were, of course, not in the main killedby his own rifle. Some of the ivory may have been bought, but numbers of native hunters were said to have beenhired for this purpose and attached to his staff, and weresent far and wide over the country. Thus this caravanmust have left a broad trail of destruction for hundredsof miles. When the wealthy and pow
