List of the 



MAMMALS KNOWN TO OCCUR IN THE UGANDA PROTECTORATE 



By Oldfield Thomas 



The following list, compiled at the request of Sir Harry John.stoii, makes no pretence 

 at being a critical or exhaustive one, as the mammals of I'ganda have been neither 

 collected nor worked out enough to make such a list i)racticable. The names here 

 given are those of the species obtained and presented to the British Museum by Sir 

 Harry himself, by Mr. F. J. Jackson, whose valuable collections have added so 

 immensely to our knowledge of the East African fauna, by Dr. Donaldson Smith, 

 Mr. G. F. Scott-Elliot, Dr. W. J. Ansorge, and others, sup])lemented by the names of 

 those recorded by Mr. Oscar Neumann, Dr. Matschie, and other writers on the subject. 

 But it must be repeated that the list is necessarily very incomplete, especially as 

 such knowledge as we do possess of the mammals of our East African possessions is 

 largely based on collections made just outside the area now treated of, so that the 

 greater part of the specimens obtained by Mr. Jackson, and those of Lord Delamere, 

 Messrs. C. S. Betton, S. L. Hinde, H. J. Mackinder, A. B. Percival, and others do not 

 come into the count.
