I have examined besides tliis specimen two others (skins 

 and skulls) and three skulls, one of them of a very youn;^ 

 animal. 



Remarks. — There is a very ^ood figure of this race in 

 Anderson's ' Zoolofjy of Kgy])t,' pi. xxviii., drawn from a 

 live specimen coming from the Su;ikim j)lains. Perhaps it 

 has been represented a little darker and redder than it really 

 Mas, hut the scarcity of black on the tail and nianc and the 

 feet pale brown, not black, are well shown. Comparing that 

 figure with the one published by Flower in the ' Proceedings 

 of the Zoological Society/ 18G9, pi. xxxix., the ditference 

 between the nurthern and I he soutlurn races can be seen at 

 a glance. Froteles cristutns septeiilriontdis (of which there 

 is a good sjiecimen in the British Museum, obtained by 

 Mr. Drake Broekman in Somaliland, .50 miles south of 

 Berbera) has the pale colour and the unicoloured hair of 

 pallidiur, but with the black feet and the more blackened 

 njai:e and tail of typical cr'mtatus.
