other things to the same extent as some Pangani lemurs which I 

 have known. Sweet things in general it liked, particularly cake, but 

 was not at all keen on meat, either raw or cooked. Its chief dehght 

 was to be let out of its cage, when it progressed across the floor by 

 the funniest little jumps of the long hind limbs until it reached 

 furniture, when it sprang from one article to another with astonishing 

 energy and was tireless in its activity. While it slept a good deal 

 during the day it was always ready to come out to play or be carried 

 around. Its bite could draw blood but was usually only given in 

 friendliness. It was quite tolerant of G. sennaariensis confined in 

 the same cage. 



GALAGO PANGANIENSIS (Matschie) 

 PANGANI LEMUR 



Native name. — Komba (Kiswahili). Does not occur in Ugogo. 



A three-quarter grown lemur was sent in from Kondoa Irangi early 

 in August. It remained in its sleeping box during the day and never 

 showed itself till about an hour after dark, when it might be inter- 

 rupted feeding. While milk and papaw were its principal food, it 

 was generally given raw minced meat, which was relished. A second 

 specimen purchased by Doctor Mann in Dar es Salaam bit through 

 its cord and escaped at Dodoma. Largest male, 170. 270. 60. 40 mm. 



GALAGO SENNAARIENSIS Lesson 

 SENNAAR LEMUE 



Native name. — Ndele (Chigogo). 



A dozen individuals were brought in, about half at Kondoa Irangi, 

 the remainder at Dodoma. Another was captured by my collector 

 at Saranda, where silhouetted against the moonlight I used to see 

 them springing gracefully about in the mimosa thorn. They are 

 very difiicult to keep, as milk and papaw seem to be the only things 

 they will eat besides bananas, and the latter were often unobtainable. 

 The papaw appeared to induce diarrhea. Bread, meat, prunes (raw 

 or cooked), rice, and jellies were all rejected and left untouched. 

 They also appeared to be quarrelsome, for several were bitten on 

 the nose or tail by their companions. At least two were killed in 

 this way. 



CHAEREPHON LIMBATIS (Peters) 



FREE-TAILED BAT 



Native names. — Ibudibudi (Chigogo); Popo (Kiswahili). 

 A male, 50. 40. 21. 14. 130 mm., was found one morning on the 

 veranda of Kilamatinde boma.
