518 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [1896. 



*1. Hippopotamus amphibius L. Hippopotamus. 



A skull and several incisor teeth are in the University of Penn- 

 sylvania series. 



*2. Phacochoerus afrioanus (Gmel.). ^Elian's Wart Hog. 



A skull and a mounted head are in the University of Pennsylva- 

 nia exhibit. 



*"3. GirafFa camelopardalis (L.). Ethiopian Giraffe. 



The skull of a female, with full head and neck skin to shoulders, 

 was mounted at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 

 It exhibits the peculiarities defined by Mr. Thomas' for the northern 

 form. The application to this form of the name cethiopica of Sun- 

 devall* is, however, incorrect, as the camelopardalis of Linnaeus is 

 assigned by that author to " Ethiopia and Sennar."^ This makes 

 Sundevall's name a synonym, the southern race remaining, so far as 

 I can ascertain, unnamed. I would propose for the latter the 

 name Giraffa camelopardalis australis, Nom. nov. 



*4. Bubalis swaynei Scl. Swayne's Hartebeest. 



Represented by five (?) skulls in the University of Pennsylvania 

 series. 



5. Bubalis cokei (Giintb.). Coke's Hartebeest. 



One pair of horns in the collection of the Academy of Natural 

 Sciences of Philadelphia (No. 3,933), and four mounted heads in the 

 University of Pennsylvania. 



*6. Damaliscus jimela (Mtsch.). Topi Antelope. 



One mounted head and one skull in the University of Pennsylva- 

 nia represent this species. 



7. Madoqua guentheri Thos. Gunther's Dik-dik. 



A mounted male specimen, entire, with skull separate, in the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia series (No. 3,900), be- 

 longs to this very distinct species. While the colors of the back 

 and head closely resemble those of the following (M. phillipsi), the 

 tawny ochraceus tints of the belly oi' jjhillipsi constantly distinguish 

 it from the white bellied (juentheri. In the Academy's specimen 

 of the latter, the back is quite as gray as in Thomas' and Sclater's 

 figure of phillipsi,^ not rufous, as there figured.
