Abstract
THE crossing of the eland and domestic cattle has been reported fairly frequently, and some years ago several cases were alleged in Southern Rhodesia. After a prolonged correspondence (1923), in which assistance was given by the local magistrate, the late Mr. W. Farrer, it was concluded that the reported hybrids were not authentic. The owner stated that they were almost indistinguishable from domestic cattle, and the fact that tame bull elands will readily serve domestic cows seemed a sufficient explanation of the alleged hybridism.
