 withers. The length of the hair on the nape is only 3 

 inches. The legs are tawny like the back in color on the 

 outside, huffy on the inside, with the hair on the under side 

 of the toes seal-brown. The head is like the back in color, 

 with somewhat stronger black vermiculation, and the ears

Four complete specimens of this race from Uganda have 

 been examined at the British Museum, consisting of a lion 

 and two lionesses from Mulema and one lioness from An- 

 kole. The skin of the lion has a small tawny mane quite 

 similar to the flat skin from Kampala. The lionesses are 

 tawny in color, similar to the lion. The skull of the lion 

 has a length of I4tV inches and a breadth of 9tV inches. 

 The three lionesses range in skull length from 11^ inches 

 to iiyi inches and in breadth from y)^ inches to 8 in- 

 ches. In the absence of flesh measurements of specimens 

 the dimensions of the flat skin from Kampala may be taken 

 as showing approximately the size of the race, the meas- 

 urements of which are: head and body, 75 inches; tail, 35 

 inches; ear, 4 inches.
