 son. The central African fauna is of course much more nearly allied to 

 that of Europe than to that of North America, and were I familiar with 

 small European mammals, I should use them, rather than the American, 

 for purposes of illustration. 



Heliosciurus kenia (Kenia Forest Squirrel). Mount Kenia, B. E. A. Heller shot 

 one in a tree in the heavy forest by our first elephant camp. In size and ac-

Paraxerus jacksoni. Shot at same camp; common at Nairobi and Kijalx 1 , B. E. A.

 action. Tamer than the larger squirrel, but much shyer than our red squirrel or
