The Warden has, further, in the districts included in the
Game Reserve, the powers of a Resident Justice of the Peace,
a Sub Native Commissioner, and a Customs Officer, while the
Rangers, white and native, have the full powers and duties
of police. The area is therefore quite self-contained, and
at the Warden's headquarters, are police barracks, court
house and lock-up, and a post of the Transvaal police in
charge of a corporal is permanently stationed there. The
special by-laws which are enforced are set forth in the
attached slip. There are about 4,000 natives, all told,
resident within the area. Most of them have been admitted as
residents on condition of their giving assistance to the
staff, and hold their tenure conditionally on their
behaviour. This system has been found to work admirably,
for, while practically no harm is done by these residents,
very considerable assistance has been obtained from them in
detecting poachers.

All carnivorous mammals are treated as vermin and are
systematically destroyed.

No shooting or hunting of any kind is permitted in the
Reserve, and in fact members of the public except on special
permit are not allowed to carry firearms or to leave certain
main tracks.

The species of game mammals found are as follows: Elephant,
rhinoceros, hippopotamus, giraffe, buffalo, zebra, sable and
roan antelope, kudu, water buck, blue wilde-beest, impalla,
reed buck, bush-buck, steenbok, duiker, klipspringer,
