is not a constant character in this case. Consequently, as this was the supposed differ- 

 ence between E. boh mi MATSOHIE 1892 and E. t/nnili DE WINTON 1896, the latter of 

 Tliese names has to be regarded as synonymous with the former. 



As a rule the zebras live on the open plains but when they go to their watering 

 places they must pass through the acacia forests which surround the rivers. It thus 

 may happen that a zebra is shot in a forest. 



The zebras were seen in herds containing much more than a hundred heads, on 

 the grass steppes at Ngare nairobi and Ngare na nyuki (conf. PL 4, fig. 1 ). They like, as 

 is well known, the company of the Gnus. 



A small filly accompanying the mother was seen 29 /s 1906. (SJOSTEDT. )

Kilimandjaro: 1 young specimen from the cultivated zone at Kibonoto March 1906. 



FORSYTH MAJOR has given the Bushpig of Kilimandjaro this subspecific name ten 

 years ago, and it is used here for that reason, although the specimen is too young to allow 

 any corroboration of MAJOR'S views. The colour of the specimen is on the sides mixed 

 black and rusty. On the back and forehead the rusty red is dominating, a white dorsal 

 crest is developed on the anterior part of the back. On the sides of the neck, on the 

 chest, and legs the black is dominating. 



Professor SJOSTEDT says that the Bushpigs were very common but at the same 

 time very difficult to shoot so that he could only obtain this specimen. They are very ob- 

 noxious in the farms, and the Wadshaggas must keep watch every night to protect their 

 crops against the predations of the Bushpigs. Excrements of the Bushpig were seen in 

 the rainforest of Mem, about 3,500 m.

Kilimandjaro: 3 semiadult specimens (J 1 , ?) from the bush-steppe between Kibo- 

 noto and the Natron lakes 5 /a 1905. - - 1 specimen (jun. ) from the Kibonoto steppe Oct. 

 1905. - - 1 ? ad. from the Kibonoto steppe, 28 /i 1905. - - 1 quite newborn pig from the 

 same locality, 4 'n 1905. - - 1 quite small pig from the Kibonoto steppe 2 /i 1906. - - 1 old 

 boar near Ngare nairobi. -- Mem: 1 old boar and 1 pig from Ngare na nyuki 22 'i.> 1905. 



The last days of October three newborn pigs of Phacochcerus were seen. They 

 were as dark as the old ones. At the same time another one, somewhat older, perhaps 

 two three weeks, was observed. The 4th of Nov. a new born pig was seen. 



The Wart-hogs were common in this region and were found almost regularly in 

 some of their favourite places. 



They belong to the steppe and are not found higher up on the mountain than in 

 the mixed forest. In the cultivated zone they are substituted by the Bush -pigs. The
