Feeding habits of East African herbivores
Buffalo, zebras, wildebeests, topi, and Thomson's gazelles live in huge groups that together make up some 90 percent
of the total weight of mammals living on the Serengeti Plain of East Africa. They are all herbivores (plant-eating
animals), and they all appear to be living on the same diet of grasses, herbs, and small bushes. This appearance,
however, is illusory. When biologist Richard Bell and his colleagues analyzed the stomach contents of four of the five
species (they did not study buffalo), they found that each species was living on a different part of the vegetation. The
different vegetational parts differ in their food qualities: lower down, there are succulent, nutritious leaves; higher up
are the harder stems. There are also sparsely distributed, highly nutritious fruits, and Bell found that only the
Thomson's gazelles eat much of these. The other three species differ in the proportion of lower leaves and higher
stems that they eat: zebras eat the most stem matter, wildebeests eat the most leaves, and topi are intermediate.
How are we to understand their different feeding preferences? The answer lies in two associated differences
among the species, in their digestive systems and body sizes. According to their digestive systems, these herbivores
can be divided into two categories: the nonruminants (such as the zebra, which has a digestive system like a horse)
and the ruminants (such as the wildebeest, topi, and gazelle, which are like the cow). Nonruminants cannot extract
much energy from the hard parts of a plant; however, this is more than made up for by the fast speed at which food
passes through their guts. Thus, when there is only a short supply of poor-quality food, the wildebeest, topi, and
gazelle enjoy an advantage. They are ruminant and have a special structure (the rumen) in their stomachs, which
contains microorganisms that can break down the hard parts of plants. Food passes only slowly through the ruminant's
gut because ruminating-digesting the hard parts-takes time. The ruminant continually regurgitates food from its
stomach back to its mouth to chew it up further (that is what a cow is doing when "chewing cud"). Only when it had
been chewed up and digested almost to a liquid can the food pass through the rumen and on through the gut. Larger
particles cannot pass through until they have been chewed down to size. Therefore, when food is in short supply, a
ruminant can last longer than a non-ruminant because it can derive more energy out of the same food. The difference
can partially explain the eating habits of the Serengeti herbivores. The zebra chooses areas where there is more low-
quality food. It migrates first to unexploited areas and chomps the abundant low-quality stems before moving on. It is
a fast-in/fast-out feeder, relying on a high output of incompletely digested food. By the time the wildebeests (and other
ruminants) arrive, the grazing and trampling of the zebras will have worn the vegetation down. As the ruminants then
set to work, they eat down to the lower, leafier parts of the vegetation. All of this fits in with the differences in
stomach contents with which we began.
The other part of the explanation is body size. Larger animals require more food than smaller animals, but smaller
animals have a higher metabolic rate. Smaller animals can therefore live where there is less food, provided that such
food is of high energy content. That is why the smallest of the herbivores, Thomson's gazelle, lives on fruit that is very
nutritious but too thin on the ground to support a larger animal. By contrast, the large zebra lives on the masses of
low-quality stem material.
The differences in feeding preferences lead, in turn, to differences in migratory habits. The wildebeests follow, in
their migration, the pattern of local rainfall. The other species do likewise. But when a new area is fueled by rain, the
mammals migrate toward it in a set order to exploit it. The larger, less fastidious feeders, the zebras, move in first; the
choosier, smaller wildebeests come later; and the smallest species of all, Thomson's gazelle, arrives last. The later
species all depend on the preparations of the earlier one, for the actions of the zebra alter the vegetation to suit the
stomachs of the wildebeest, topi, and gazelle.

Lotte and Wytze Hellinga
A. As a student at the University of Amsterdam after the Second World War, Lotte found herself stimulated first by
the teaching of Herman de la Fontaine Verwey and then by that of the forceful personality of Wytze Hellinga, at
that time Professor of Dutch Philology at the University. Wytze Hellinga’s teaching was grounded in the idea of
situating what he taught in its context. Obliged to teach Gothic, for example, he tried to convey a sense of the
language rooted in its own time and environment.
B. Study of the book was becoming increasingly important at the University of Amsterdam at this period, as the work
of de la Fontaine Verwey and Gerrit Willem Ovink testifies. Wytze Hellinga’s interests, formerly largely in a
socio-linguistic direction, were now leaning more towards texts and to the book as the medium that carried written
texts.
C. Much of Wytze’s teaching followed his own research interests, as he developed his ideas around the sense that
texts should properly be understood in the context of their method of production and dissemination. He was at this
time increasingly turning to codicology and to the classic Anglo-Saxon model of bibliography in the realization
that the plan to produce a proper critical edition of the works of Pieter Comeliszoon Hooft, the seventeenth-
century poet, dramatist and historian, depended on the application of the skills of analytical bibliography.
D. Encouraged by his work, Lotte produced an undergraduate thesis on the printer’s copy of the Otia of Constantijn
Huygens (The Hague, 1625). This work, incidentally, has never been published, although an article was regularly
announced as forthcoming in Quaerendo during the early 1970s.
E. On graduation in 1958, events took a turn that was to prove fateful. Lotte was awarded a postgraduate fellowship
by the Nederlandse Organisatie voor Zuiver-Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (or Z.W.O) to go to England to study
fifteenth-century printing, and Marie Kronenberg, the doyenne of Dutch bibliographers, arranged for her to be
“taught incunabulizing” (as she put it) by Victor Scholderer at the British Museum.
F. As an honorary Assistant Keeper at the Museum, then, she came to England in 1959, assisting among other things
with the preparation of BMC volume IX (concerning the production of Holland and Belgium) while studying the
texts of the Gouda printer Gerard Leeu to see if the sources (and hopefully printer’s copy) for his editions could be
identified. Although the subject proved difficult to define immediately so as to lead in a productive direction, most
of this work was nonetheless to find its way into print in such collaborative publications as the Hellingas’
Fifteenth century printing types, the edition of the Bradshaw correspondence and the 1973 Brussels catalogue, to
each of which we shall return. But during her time at the Museum, Lotte’s attention was also attracted by such
things as English provenances on early-printed continental books, an interest which has stayed with her
throughout her career.
G. Wytze’s attention too was turning towards incunabula at this time, as witnessed by the fifteenth-century examples
used in his Copy and Print in the Netherlands (1962), and there began a fruitful period of collaborative work
which was issued in a stream of short bibliographical articles on Low Countries incunabula, and culminated
triumphantly in the ground-breaking Fifteenth-Century Printing Types of the Low Countries, commissioned (at
Wytze’s instance) by Menno Hertzberger in 1961 and published in 1966. These years saw periods of intensive
study irtthe libraries strongest in the incunabula of the Low Countries, with whole summers passed in Cambridge
and Copenhagen as well as shorter visits to libraries from Oxford to Vienna.
H. The partnership between Lotte and Wytze was also to lead to marriage and to the birth of their son. Between 1961
and 1975, the Hellingas were in Amsterdam. In 1965, Lotte had obtained a research assistantship for Dutch
prototypography from the Z.W.O., and from 1967 she was teaching at the Institute of Dutch Studies at the
University of Amsterdam. She continued to develop her interest in analytical bibliography in a number of
directions, perhaps most strikingly in important work on early Dutch printing and an examination of the Coster
question. She also contributed to the catalogue which accompanied the exhibition held in Brussels in 1973 to
commemorate the quincentenary of the introduction of printing to the Netherlands, a collaborative work that still
provides the best presentation of the work of the early printers of the Low Countries.
I. The year 1974 saw the award of a doctorate by the University of Amsterdam for her thesis on the relationship
between copy and print in a fifteenth-century printing-house, Methode en praktijk bij het zetten van boeken in de
vijftiende eeuw. This seminal work, remaining as a Dutch dissertation of limited diffusion, has perhaps not been
as widely read as it deserves. There followed a year’s respite from teaching in 1975 with the commission from
