τὸ πρὸς ἑσπέρης. H. is quite right as to the contrast between the eastern and the western parts of the North African coast (c. 181 n.). Full discussions of the fauna in this chapter and 192 will be found in Bähr and (later) in R. Neumann, pp. 152 seq. Of the nine beasts in this chapter, six are right, and the ὄνοι can be explained with some probability; the two remaining are monsters (the ‘dogheads’ and the ‘headless’) which seem to be more than doubted by H. (v. i.).
