ABSTRACT
AFTER traversing the high and thickly forested country about Fort Ternan, the line descends to Muhoroni and the lower country about the lake. Both the country and the game are different from any we have yet seen. The line has alternately passed through the green banana, cocoa-nut palm and plantations of the coast; the rolling, wooded hill and valley of Mazeras ; the flat, thorn desert and red sand of the Taru; the open prairies of the Athi and Kapiti Plains; the cultivated red hills of Kikuyu; the forests of the escarpments, and the lakes and volcanic mountains of the Rift Valley. This country is not like any ofthese. It might be described as a flat, rather sterile plain, orchardlike in the distribution and general appearance of its trees, and dotted with stony hills.
