PLATES 41, 42, AND 43 (f.g. i). 



A series of thirty-three bandoliers cut by natives from Okapi skin, chiefly from the 

 striped region of the hind leg. Lent by Major Powell-Cotton. [A pair of similar 

 bandoliers sent by Sir Han-y Johnston to Dr. P. L. Sclater in 1900, and fignred by him 

 in the 'Proceedings of the Zoological Society,' 1901, i, p. 51, are reproduced in colour in 

 Plate 1. These bandoliers are the two co-types of Equitn (?) johiistoni, Sclater, a name 

 subsequently altered to Ohnpia juhnstvid by Lankester (' Proc. Zool. Soc.,' 1901, ii, 



p. 281).] 



The rule to the left of the figures is marked in inches and feet on the left-hand edge 



and in centimetres on the right. 



Plate 41. 



Fig. 1. —Bandoliers A -H. The collector's labels for A— E read "Congo, Kangi, 

 No. 3, Male, hind leg." F is marked "Congo, Kangi, young, from Kasindi, 18.8.05." 

 G and H, " Congo, Kangi, young, same beast, sent off IG.9.06." 



Fig. 2.— Bandoliers I— N. I bears collector's label "Congo, Kangi, No. 5, by 

 Majura" Mawambe-Ansknbe." J, "Fort Portal, 28.10.05, Ouex, 27.12.05, 277, C^ongo, 

 Kangi, No. 5, by Majura."- I and J arrived tied together, with a common label " two 

 bits from same beast, one other bit, label lost." K and L are similarly marked "same 

 beast " ; also M and N. K, " Congo, Kangi, No. 1, female, buttock." L, " Congo, Kangi, 

 No. 1, female, hind leg." M and N, "Congo, Kangi, ]Mawambe-Auskul)e, four bits by 

 Lenda, these two pieces almost fit." 



Plate 42. 



Fig. 1.— Bandoliers 0— V. and P bear collector's laltel, "Congo, Kangi, from 

 Kasindi, 18.8.06, these two join." Q, R and S, " Congo, Kangi, sent off 16.9.00, probably 

 the same beast." T, U and V, " Congo, Kangi, six of these three bits, one belongs to 

 No. 3, and one to No. 5. 



Fig. 2.— Bandoliers W— Cc. AV, X, Y and Cc bear similar lal)els, " Congo, Kangi, 

 No. 3, male, fore-leg," and Aa, " Congo, Kangi, No. 3, male." Attached to W is a label, 

 " Ten pieces of a male Okapi (all same beast). There is one other bit, but label lost. 

 Some of these probably fit together." Although the label is attached to W only, it 

 probably applies also to A, B, C, D, E, X, Y, Aa and Cc, all of which, with W, are 

 )narked " Kangi, No. 3, male " ; possil)ly it applies also to either T, U or V, one of which 

 is said to belong to No. 3. This, of course, makes more than the " ten pieces." Z, 

 " Congo, Kangi, No. 2, female, buttock, no other bit of skin of this beast." Bb, " Congo, 

 Kangi, four bits by Lenda, Mawaml)e-Auskube " ; two other of the "four bits In' Lenda' 

 are evidently M and N^.

 addition Ee bears the label " Strip from fore-leg." No other particulars are avaiUible.
