3d. One of the old Asian species now inhabiting African nations. (4). ?N?A Is it Anna? If so, why? I thought Anna was Indian currency, not a species.

28d. .......or futille drink round. (2,2). N? G? The continuation full stops at the start of the clue are a continuation from the previous clue (27d) which was "Resort to optional phone box offer for round of cards.......", the answer for which is, I think, DEAL - from a deal of cards and a reference to the TV show "Deal or no deal". So is the answer to 28d NO GO?
