species of Cephalophus, a characteristic 7Ethiopian genus of Bovide. 
Nor, so far as we know at present, are there any traces of Marmots, 
Pikas, or Mountain-hares on Kilima-njaro. The places of these 
Boreal forms are taken by Hyvax and various species of Muride. In 
short, we find on Kilima-njaro merely more or less modified repre- 
sentatives of the inhabitants of the surrounding districts. So far as 
this piece of evidence goes, the wave of Boreal life, impelled by the 
Glacial Period, did not in Africa advance so far south as the Equator. 
What we do find in Kilima-njaria, however, is the most splendid 
series of the larger mammals to be met with in any spot on the 
earth’s surface, such as may well justify Sir John Willoughby and his 
friends in terming their headquarters at Taveta the ‘‘ Hunter’s Para- 
dise.”
