CHIMPANZEE. 



Native Names. 



Swahili Sokwe. Luganda Ezike. 



This animal occurs in the Budonga Forest in Western Uganda and in the Ituri Forest, 

 Eastern Congo. 



CIVET CAT. 



Native Names. 

 Swahili (Zanzibar) . . . Ngawa. Swahili Fungo. 



This animal does not appear to be at all common in British East Africa. It seems to occur 

 fairly plentifully on the island of Zanzibar, especially about Maweni. 



Its meat is brought into the bazaar and sold, and is much appreciated by the natives. 



COLOBUS. 



Native Names. 



Swahili Mbega. Kavirondo .... Koru (?). 



Kikuyu Nguyu. Kinyema Katomboli. 



Masai Enderi. Kitaita Ngima Wachaf (?). 



Kikamba Ngwiyu. Ogiek (Ravine) . Koroitiit. 



Kinyamwezi Ngeyi. Luganda Engeye. 



These animals feed on leaves and do not come down to the ground as do the " kima " and 

 other monkeys. When alarmed they often descend quickly from the higher branches of a tree, 

 so as to obtain concealment in the thicker foliage below. They will sometimes pull branches and 

 leaves around so as to hide themselves. This is done particularly by a female carrying in 

 her arms a young one, which does not want to take flying leaps to the adjoining trees. The 

 females carry their young hugged against the chest. Colobus make a peculiar croaking sound, 

 especially in the early morning, when waves of their sound pass across the forests, the cry being 

 taken up by those in advance and carried forward. These animals are found in most of 

 the elevated forests in the country, such as : — 



Nandi and Mau forests, very plentiful. 



Kikuyu escarpment, plentiful. 



Aberdare forests, less plentiful. 



Kenya forest and Kilimanjaro forest. 



They also occur plentifully in the Budonga and other forests of Uganda. 



COLOBUS, RED. 



There is a red colobus found plentifully in the forests of Western Uganda and the Eastern 

 Congo.
