Riding out from Nairobi, we camped the first evening at " Nine- Mile Spruit," where snipe were abundant, also big fran- colin {Scolopax nigripennis and Francolinus vluensis) ; and W fired the first shot of the expedition at pelicans. We reached the Athi River, above "Lone- Tree," the following day. Although the East- African brindled gnu, or white- bearded wildebeest {Connochoetes alhojuhcUus), still formed one main objective, yet meanwhile our self-con- fidence — or pride, whichever it were — ...had induced us to place the lion in the forefront of our programme. The lioness we had already slain : the lion now formed our first ambition. The higher plateaux of the Athi Plains usually drop towards the lower levels by the river in a series of broken steps; but this drop, at the point we had selected, is confined to a single escarpment, fairly abrupt and 200 to 300 ft. in height. At intervals of a mile or two, the face of this escarpment is furrowed transversely by deep and narrow ravines, which during the rains form water- courses draining the higher ground, and which also afibrd at that season, a favourite shelter for lions.
