(Plate XL.) 



The Mammals now described were collected partly on Dr. Emin's 

 return march from his Equatorial Province, and partly by himself 

 or by friends of his during his stay at Bagamoyo. The former, like 

 the magnificent collection sent over in 1887 ', were presented by 

 him direct to the Natural History Museum, and the latter were 

 given to the Zoological Society, whose Council have in their turn 

 passed them on to the Museum for comparison and preservation. 



After the collections described in the previous papers were dis- 

 patched in 1887, Dr. Emin continued to investigate the fauna of 

 the region of the great lakes, and it speaks volumes for his energy 

 and enthusiasm that after all the collections then made had most 

 unfortunately been lost, he should, nevertheless, have perseveringly 

 continued to collect all the way down during the painful march 

 from Equatoria to Bagamoyo, and should, under such difficulties, 

 have been able to obtain so many valuable specimens as are here 

 described. Later, while at Bagamoyo, he exercised his influence 

 among his friends, and the specimens recorded as from Monda, in 

 the Nguru Mountains, and from Mandera, a place equidistant from 

 Saadani and Bagamoyo, about 25 miles from the coast, were obtained 

 for him in this way. Those from the latter locality were collected 

 by Lieut. Langheld, to whose friendly exertions we owe some of the 

 most interesting specimens obtained. 



Every skin collected during the march has been most carefully 

 labelled by Emin himself, many of the particulars so recorded being
