Mirso Reserve_, about 300 square miles. UGANDA: 6. _Budonga Forest Reserve_.--This small reserve embraces the whole eastern shore and hinterland of Lake Albert Nyanza, and is shaped like a new moon. 7. _Toro Reserve_.--This small reserve lies between Lakes Albert Nyanza and Albert Edward Nyanza, touching both. NYASALAND, OR THE BRITISH CENTRAL AFRICA PROTECTORATE.--A small territory, but remarkably well stocked with game. 8. _Elephant Marsh Preserve_.--A small area in the extreme southern end of the Protectorate, on both sides of the Shire River, chiefly for buffalo. 9. _Angoniland Reserve_.--This was created especially to preserve about one thousand elephants. It is forty miles west of the southwestern arm of Lake Nyasa. TRANSVAAL: 10. _Sabi-Singwitza-Pongola Preserve_.--This great preserve occupies the whole region between the Drakenberg Mountains and the Lebombo Hills. Its total area is about 10,500 square miles.
