LVII, — List of a Collection of Mammals made hy Mr. A. L. 

 Butler on the Upper Nile. By R. C. Wroughton. 



The specimens here dealt with were obtained for the most 

 part from two localities, viz. the Blue Nile and Mongalla on 

 the White Nile. Practically all the forms have already been 

 described, but good specimens are valuable. A rat and the 

 dassie alone seem to be without a name, and they are such 

 distinct species that I have had no hesitation in describing 

 them. I am pleased to name the dassie after Mr. Butler.
