The Mijeti Non-Shooting Area, in the north-west corner of the Chikwawa district of Nyasaland, comprises some 150–200 square miles of very broken and stony hill country clothed mostly with rather poor Brachystegia scrub, though small areas of bettergrown Brachystegia and Pterocarpus are to be found. The grass on the hills is seldom higher than about 3 feet, but in the dambos it often reaches a height of 8 to 10 feet. These “dambos” are open grassy glades which may be quite dry for half the year but which, owing to the high water-table during the rains, are almost treeless.
