5. Fewvis reo, Linn. 
Lions were abundant all along the route we traversed, though not 
often met with. In Uganda, in particular, there were many com- 
plaints made of their ravages.—J. H 
6. FELIS SERVAL. 
An imperfect skin of a young kitten obtained in Unyoro is pro- 
bably referable to this species. 
The princes of Uganda wear the skin of this animal as a royal 
badge. This kitten was given to me alive by a native in Unyoro, 
under the condition that, if it died, the carcase was to be given back 
to him for his dinner.—J. H. 8.

9. Hya#na crocuta, Zimm. 
Capt. Speke speaks of this (P. Z. S. 1863, p. 4) as the common 
scavenger of the country. It appears to be abundant all over East- 
ern Africa. 
Ordo IV. RODENTIA.

Dr. Gray has identified a portion of skin of a Squirrel obtained 
by Capt. Speke as belonging to his newly discovered species, de- 
scribed and figured anted, p. 13. 
11. GEORYCHUS ALBIFRONS, Gray, sp. nov. 
12. GEoRYCHUS PALLIDUS, Gray, sp. nov. 
Two skins of a Georychus are in the collection, of which Capt. 
Speke does not know the exact locality. Dr. Gray has kindly un- 
dertaken the examination of them, and his remarks on them will 
shortly be read to the Meeting.

Unyamuezi. Capt. Speke only procured a very imperfect skin of 
this beautiful Mouse. Dr. Gray, having subsequently received a 
more perfect specimen (stated to have been obtained on the west 
coast), has lately described it as new. Mr. Wolf’s figure is taken 
from the latter specimen. 
This Grass-Rat is common in the grasses in Unyamuezi.—J. H.S.
