Readers are invited to refer to Oryx, III, 6, “What of the Serengeti?” and to Professor Pearsall's Serengeti Report in Oryx, IV, 4.

In June and July, 1957, soon after Professor Pearsall's report was published, the Tanganyika Government held a Committee of Inquiry on the Serengeti. Professor Pearsall was flown to Arusha to give evidence and was the most important witness at the Inquiry; indeed the Committee's recommendations published in November, 1957, were to a great extent based on his survey.
