shot in a bad light.

Off at 6.15, marched till 11 am & encamped in a valley on the R. Magollo.  A tremendous lot of collar work through the Elarshat Mts. Through some open bush & dense forest into open country. Remind me of the High Veldt in S. Africa. Saw a bush buck & water buck soon after starting, but too far back to go after. Went out at 2 Pm but found nothing except a Colobus monkey in the forest. I had a very difficult shot at him but failed to get him. Saw elephant tracks some months old. Very hot morning but very cold afternoon, with cold drizzle.
