4. Felis servalma, Ogilby. 



A native skin from Mongu. 



Tliis appears to be somewhat like F. s. pantasticta, Pocock, 

 but the stripes on the neck and the spots on the back are 

 much more ii)distinct. It would be interesting to get a 

 series of skins from this locality, to see whether they are all 

 the same. I do not feel disposed, however, to distinguish it 

 as a new form on a single skin, knowing how liable its near 

 relative, F. serval, is to vary in the same locality.

" Caught in tree by native.

This seems to be a member of the i^. ocreata group, but it 

 is considerably darker on the back and its ears are less red 

 than examples from Bulawayo and Salisbury, although its 

 tail is almost identical in length and coloration. What is 

 most remarkable, however, is the large amount of white on 

 it. Its nose, chin, underside of neck, chest, and the greater 

 part of the fore and hind limbs are wiiite. At first sight it 

 might be taken for a hybrid between F. ocreata and the 

 domestic cat ; but Mr. Micklem tells me that the natives in 

 the district have no domestic cats, and, moreover, they told 

 him that all the wild cats of this class there were similarly 

 coloured.
