PLATES 41, 4*2, and 43 (Fig. l). 



A series of thirty-three bandoliers cut by natives from Okapi skin, chiefly from the 

 striped region of the hind leg. Lent by Major Powell-Cotton. [A pair of similar 

 bandoliers sent by Sir Harry Johnston to Dr. P. L. Sclater in 1900, and figured by him 

 in the ' Proceedings of the Zoological Society,' 1901, i, p. 51, are reproduced in colour in 

 Plate 1. These bandoliers are the two co-types of Eqmis (?) johmtoni, Sclater, a name 

 subsequently altered to Okajjia juliustuni by Lankester ('Proc. Zool. Soc.,' 1901, ii, 

 p. 281).] 



The rule to the left of the figures is marked in inches and feet on the left-hand edge 

 and in centimetres on the right. 



Plate 41. 



Fig. 1.— Bandoliers A — H. The collector's labels for A — E read "Congo, Kangi, 

 No. 3, Male, hind leg." F is marked "Congo, Kangi, young, from Kasindi, 18.8.05." 

 G and H, " Congo, Kangi, young, same beast, sent off 10.9.06." 



Fig. 2. — Bandoliers I — N. I bears collector's label " Congo, Kangi, No. 5, by 

 Majura, Mawambe-Auskube." J, "Fort Portal, 28.10.05, Ouex, 27.12.05, 277, Congo, 

 Kangi, No. 5, by Majura." I and J arrived tied together, with a common label " two 

 bits from same beast, one other bit, label lost." K and L are similarly marked " same 

 beast"; also M and N. K, " Congo, Kangi, No. 1, female, buttock." L, " Congo, Kangi, 

 No. 1, female, hind leg." M and N, "Congo, Kangi, Mawambe-Auskube, four bits by 

 Lenda, these two pieces almost fit." 



Plate 42. 



Fig. 1. — Bandoliers O — V. O and P bear collector's label, "Congo, Kangi, from 

 Kasindi, 18.8.06, these two join." Q, R and S, " Congo, Kangi, sent off 16.9.06, probably 

 the same beast." T, U and V, " Congo, Kangi, six of these three bits, one belongs to 

 No. 3, and one to No. 5. 



Fig. 2. — Bandoliers W — Cc. W, X, Y and Cc bear similar labels, "Congo, Kangi, 

 No. 3, male, fore-leg," and Aa, " Congo, Kangi, No. 3, male." Attached to W is a label, 

 " Ten pieces of a male Okapi (all same beast). There is one other bit, but label lost. 

 Some of these probably fit together." Although the label is attached to W only, it 

 probably applies also to A, B, C, D, E, X, Y, Aa and Cc, all of which, with W, are 

 marked " Kangi, No. 3, male " ; possibly it applies also to either T, U or V, one of which 

 is said to belong to No. 3. This, of course, makes more than the " ten pieces." Z, 

 " Congo, Kangi, No. 2, female, buttock, no other bit of skin of this beast." Bb, " Congo, 

 Kangi, four bits by Lenda, Mawambe-Auskube"; .two other of the "four bits by Lenda' 

 are evidently M and N. 



Plate 43. 



Fig. 1. — Bandoliers Dd — Gg. These bear the name "Powell-Cotton"; and in 

 addition Ee bears the label " Strip from fore-leg." No other particulars are available.
