first thought. When feeding the herd is more or less scat- tered, but at sight of the hunter it rounds and closes into a tolerably compact circular mass. If the stalker attempts an open advance on foot — concealment being impossible from the nature of the ground — the buffalo always keep sheering off as soon as he gets within . Two hundred yards of the near- est. If he follows, they merely repeat the movement, and always manage to preserve the same distance.

The hunter still approaching, some bull will face him, lower his head, and start on a most furious charge. But alas for brute courage ! When he has gone thirty yards he thinks better of it, stops, stares an instant, and then trots back to the herd.
