(7) Tatera LohtnguUe yiiqiKS, subsp. n. 



4.4.8.7-9. Kururaan (Z)e/«0. Alt. 4000'. 



4.10.1.22. Kurumau [If^oosunm). 



A still stouter form than hec/iuance, more approaching to 

 tvpical Lobemjnla in colour, but with the dark grizzling on 

 the upper surface of the tail completely absent, the tail 

 rather longer in proportion to head and body than in the 

 other forms, bullie markedly larger. 



The following are measurements of four specimens (the

Skull. 



Hub. Kurumaii, Bechuanaland. 



Type. B.M. no. 4.10.1.22. A very old female. Col- 

 lected by ^[r. Woosnam on 23rd April, 1901. 



(8) Tatera Lobengulds mashonce, subsp. u. 



9.5.11.3.6-10; 4.12.1.11-13; 95.11.3.11. Mazoe, 

 Mashonaland {Darling). Alt. 4000'. 



This northern race is very much darker than any of the 

 others, the ground-colour being deeper and the grizzling 

 with black very much greater, and there is much more indi- 

 vidual variation. The size is much the same as in typical 

 Lobenyulce. The skull-characters show considerable individual 

 variation, but on the whole are as in Lohengul(e. 



By the courtesy and kindness of Dr. Lonnberg I have 

 been able to examine a specimen from Mopaui, i. e. the hilly 

 country near the Limpopo about halfway between Molopo 

 and Matabili. In skull-characters this specimen agrees 

 closely with typical Lobengitia, but in coloration it approaches 

 the mashon<e form by its riclu^r fulvous ground-colour; it is 

 not, however, grizzled with black as in that form. 



The following are measurements of some selectc d specimens
