John Ogilby (2273 words)
Ogilby was born outside Dundee, in 1600, the son of a well-to-do Scottish gentleman.
Ogilby was assisted in the project by his step-grandson, William Morgan, and by a number of professional surveyors.
Unfortunately, Ogilby's business rivals were also quick to appreciate his work, and his information was quickly pirated by his contemporaries, who inserted the roads to up-date their maps of the individual counties.
Cephalophus ogilbyi - Ogilby's duiker (1490 words)
Although Ogilby's duiker may compete with the nocturnal bay duiker, the effects of this competition may be mediated by temporal separation (Kingdon, 1997; Newing, 2001).
One Ogilby's duiker's stomach contents examined by Newing (2001) was composed of 92% fruits and seeds, 7% vegetative parts, and 1% flowers.
Kingdon (1997) suggests that the distribution of Ogilby's duiker may be influenced by the super-abundance of fibrous fruits and the abundance of primates which contribute to fruit fall.
