400 DR. W. PETERS ON THE MAMMALS OF ANGOLA. [Apr. 25, 
2. Nore oN THE MAMMALIA OBSERVED BY Dr. WELWITSCH IN 
AnGouta. By Dr. W. Prrers, For. Meme. 
Our knowledge of the fauna of Angola is so very limited that any 
contribution to it may be welcome*. 
Some of the Mammalia collected by Dr. Welwitsch, during his 
sojourn in that country, and kindly submitted to my examination, 
are the following :— 
1. CERCOPITHECUS SAMANGO, Sund. 
Near Sansamanda, district Pungo Andongo. 
2, EPOMOPHORUS GAMBIANUS, Ogilby. 
One specimen from Loando. 
3. PHYLLORHINA GiGas, Wagner. 
Three specimens from Loando. 
4. Canis apustus, Sundevall. 
A skin and skull of a young specimen of this peculiar species (not 
yet in the British Museum) from Golungo Alto. 
5. ZORILLA AFRICANA. 
One specimen from Golungo Alto. 
6. ZoRILLA ALBINUCHA, Gray, P. Z. S. 1864, p. 69, pl. x. 
One specimen from Golungo Alto. I should have taken it for a 
variety of the former from the same locality. But Dr. Welwitsch 
tells me that he found them constantly different, and that the natives 
also distinguish them by different names, calling the Zorilla africana 
“‘Sangamba onene’”’ (the large Sangamba), and the Zorilla albi- 
nucha, Gray, simply ‘‘ Sangamba.” 
7. FELis, sp. 
A skull of a species of this genus, perhaps belonging to F. caligata, 
from Ambaca. 
8. Fexis (CyN2ZLURUS) GuTraTa, Hermann. 
Head, foot, and part of skin of a specimen found between Pungo- 
andongo and Cassange. 
9. MERIONES SCHLEGELII, Smuts. 
Three specimens from the sandy hills near Loando. 
10. PepeTEs CAFFER, Ill. 
An imperfect skin from the district of Golungo Alto, which shows 
the wide distribution of this species. 
* In the ‘ Proceedings ’ for 1860, p. 245, Dr. Sclater has given a list of nine 
species obtained by Mr. J. Monteiro in this country.
