14 Annals of the South African Museum. 



hunters, her collection reveals all that is required for at least a 

 preliminary note. 



The animals whose remains have been found form a most 

 interesting and varied fauna. 



Equus capensis is represented only by a single tooth so far as I 

 observed in looking over the collection. 



Equus sp. There are teeth of a small Equus probably one of 

 the small Zebras. 



Hippopotamus amphibius. The remains of Hippopotamus are 

 abundant. Very fine tusks, teeth, and jaws are represented in the 

 collection besides limb bones, etc. I do not think the Hippopotamus 

 differs from the present-day species, and some of the specimens 

 must have been of great size.

Phacochoerus aetliiopicus. There are many fragmentary jaws, 

 tusks, and other bones of the Wart Hog. 



Bubalus baini is represented by numerous specimens of horn 

 cores, skulls, jaws, teeth, limb bones, and vertebrae. Most of the 

 bones have been broken by human agency. 



Connochaetes antiquus, n. sp. The animal of which the remains 

 seem most abundant is a new species of Wildebeest. In the col- 

 lection are many horn cores. In type the horn is intermediate 

 between that of the two surviving South African species. Like that 

 of the white-tailed Wildebeest, there is a very prominent flattened 

 backward process at the base of the horn. From the base the horn 

 curves much more outwards in this new species, and then less 

 abruptly upwards and backwards. The curving will be better 

 understood from the illustration.
