Czech (Dr. Kenneth) An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books 1785 – 1999, page 84: Dracopoli explored the region from Kismayu on the coast, then westward to the Lorian Swamp in British East Africa. In the Joreh district, he bagged oryx, gerenuk, arrola hartebeest, zebra and topi. Upon reaching the Lorian district, the author collected waterbuck and gazelle, but failed in his attempts after buffalo and rhinoceros. His descriptions of the terrain and climate are especially interesting.
