within certain regions, and each of them with distinct 

 characteristics. 



I have been al)le to establish the fact that, even 

 within the confines of German East Africa, there are 

 two distinct species of giraffes, one living to the east of 

 Kilimanjaro, the other in the Pangani region. Schillings 

 has brought home specimens of both species, one of 

 which is now known as Giraffa schi/liugsi, in honour of 

 its discoverer. 



The examination of these specimens has not yet been 

 completed, but it has been made clear already that the 

 animals killed in the Pangani region can all be distinguished 

 from those secured in the Masai country. Between Kili- 

 manjaro and the coast there are to be found quite different 

 types of baboons, lions, zebras, and buffaloes from those 

 in the Masai country. This fact is of great importance, 

 and Herr Schillings, in enabling us to establish it, has 

 rendered an important service to science. 



Thanks are also due to him for the careful way in which 

 he has preserved for analysis the contents of the stomachs 

 ot animals, as well as the various parasites by which they 

 are infested — ticks, lice, maofo-ots, and the worms in their 

 intestines. Me has brought back with him also a great 

 number of very valuable embryos, which further our 

 knowledge as to the development of the Ungulata, their 

 breeding-time, etc. ; the more so that these specimens 

 have been accompanied always by written particulars as 

 to the date at which they were obtained and other 

 relevant circumstances. 



We need only glance at the complete list of the
