Ossgood, Louis Aggasiz Fuertes and others travelled to Abyssinia to study its fauna and collect specimens. From Addis Ababa, the expedition trekked southeast, splitting into two parties. The author and his group bagged nyala, before crossing the Wabbi Shebeli where they took gerenuk, kudu, oryx and other game. The expedition then rejoined, heading towards the Simen Highlands where they successfully stalked ibex.’
