LÖNNBERG, MAMMALS FROM BRIT. E. AFRICA. 17 



entirely black, the somewhat smaller have as a rule a sub- 

 terminal bay or rufous ring. In some instances there is more 

 than one ring to each hair but, unlike the case with the 

 South African race, this appears to be an exception. 



Oeiietta sualielica Matschie. 



Four complete specimens (2 c?cf, 2 ?$) and a skull from 

 Donya Sabuk ^i/i — 1^2 19U, and a skull ($) from the same 



locahty ^72- 



These specimens display very plainly the sexual diffe- 

 rence as the males have their markings rufous, the females 

 (almost) black. 



Still another male specimen from Juja farm ^^/i 1914 is 

 somewhat different from the others. Its spöts are black only 

 with a few rufous-ringed hairs, chiefly in the middle of the 

 two upper series of spöts. In this same specimen m^ appears 

 also to be narrower in antero-posterior direction (i. e. the 

 heel is narrow and not so triangulär in outline) than in the 

 specimen from Donya Sabuk. I suppose, however, that this 

 only is an individual variation as these Genets are rather 

 variable as well with regard to colour as to size. None of 

 the present specimens have a condylo-incisive length amount- 

 ing to 90 mm., but in one male Genet of this species from 

 Kilimanjaro I have found the same measurement to be 92 

 mm., and in another from the same locality it is even 94 

 mm. The last specimen is melanistic, which proves that 

 melanism may be united with great bodily size and strength 

 (contrary to the usual case with albinism). 



? Crocotta paiiganensis Lönnb. 



A skull of a Spotted Hyena in this collection resembles 

 with regard to its dimensions perhaps most this race. It 

 has been collected at Donya Sabuk. 



Felis ocreata ugandae Schwann. 



A fine specimen from Donya Sabuk caught ^Va 1914. 



The coUector has given the following measurements: 



head and body 515 mm., tail 380 mm., hind foot 149 mm. and
