468 ABBOTT’S KILIMA-NJARO MAMMAILS—TRUE. 
Aulacodus swinderianus Temminck. 
A single specimen (No. 12232) from Taveta is included in the collee- — 
tion.* 
? Lepus capensis Linn. : 
The collection contains two rabbits which I assign to this species 
with some hesitation. They agree very closely with Wagner’s descrip- 
tion of Lepus ochropus,t but this species is considered synonymous with 
L. capensis by Waterhouse, Trouessart, and other authors. They agree . 
also with Waterhouse’st description of DL. capensis, except in the follow- 
ing particulars: The sides of the body and the lower portions of the legs 
and the feet are bright ocher-yellow. 
The light area on the nape is of exactly the same color. 
It appears probable that these specimens represent a geographical 
race of LZ. capensis, but as I have not material with which to compare 
them I am unable to decide this point.

They agree in every particular with Peters’s description. The dimen- — 
sions of the body of one of these specimens are as follows: .

colors in reflected light.
