I. On the Hawash. 2. Jarso. 



Numerous in the Hawash, Abbai, and Lake Tana (in which they are 



most hunted) ; tracks of a few were seen where the Takazze was crossed. 



Of the three shot on loth March 1900, two walked ashore after being 

 shot in the brain, and the third floated and was towed ashore forty minutes 

 after sinking to the shot. 



Potamocha-nis hassama (Heugl.). Abyssinian Bush-Pig. 

 (.Abyssinian name, ".Assamc" ; Argo name, " .Askarmar.") 



Mr. Powell-Cotton, though he hunted diligently for it, failed to find this 

 animal. 



Much confusion seems to exist as to the number of species of 

 bush-pig and river-hog, but, so far, I think the following table shows the 

 number and distribution of the species of Po/amoc/ia'rtis. 



Poiamochcerus laniatus. — Madagascar. 



Polamocha'rus charopotamus. — West .Africa, south to .Angola. 



Potamochcurus capensis. — South .Africa. 



Potamocha'Kus johnsfoni. — Xorth-West Nyasaland. 



Potamocha-rus tiyassa. — Lake Moeru and South-West Nyasaland. 



Potamochtcrus damonis. — Uganda and German East Africa. 



Potamochcerns hassama. — North-East Africa. 



Potamocha-rus porcus, "Red River Hog." — West Africa. 



Phacocluvnis africanus (Gmel.). .-Ethiopian Wart-hog. 

 (Native name, " Kurkerrow."i 



This animal was described by Gmelin in 17S8, and it is most un- 

 fortunate that the South African wart-hog had been named Sus athiophiis 

 by Linne in 1766, for this has led to endless confusion between the two 

 species. I here give their distribution as a future guide to sportsmen and 

 collectors. 



Phatocharus africanus. — East, Central, and West .Africa. From the 

 Soudan and Abyssinia to the Zambesi on the east, and from Senegambia 

 and the Soudan to Ashanti on the west. 



' Kept head-skin, feet, and jaws ; feet and legs marked patches of white. 



- Kept skull complete.
