Mammals from the Dinka Country, Bahr-el-Djebel. 97 



17. Mungos gotneh, Fitz. 



<$. 93. Bor. 



? . 182. North of Bor. 



Dinka name " Ador." 



Pocock (P. Z. S. 1916, p. 319) has shown that the African 

 banded mongooses are not congeneric with Crossarchus, and 

 he therefore revived Gray's Ariela for their reception. But 

 quite recently Allen (Journ. of Mamm. i. p. 27) has recalled 

 the fact that the genus Mungos was primarily established 

 upon an African banded mongoose. Therefore Mungos 

 becomes the generic name of the animal called in recent years 

 " Crossarchus fasciatus" and its allies; while the time- 

 honoured Herpestes is restored to the true mongooses. 



18. Can is thooides, Hiltz. 



?. 109. Bor. 



Fo^ the determination of this specimen we are indebted to 

 Mr. Thomas. It has been transferred to the National Collec- 

 tion by the Wellcome Research Laboratory, and it is t a note- 

 worthy accession, because this interesting Jackal was previously 

 unrepresented in the British Museum.
