1876.] DISTRIBUTION OF SOUTH-AFRICAN MAMMALS. 293 



In this Table, when latitude and longitude are mentioned, south 

 latitude and east longitude are to be understood. When a species is 

 stated to be common everywhere, suitable localities must be under- 

 stood. 



I have endeavoured to make this Table as accurate as possible ; 

 but there is little very recent information of the south-west parts, 

 Baines's 'Explorations' in 1862 being the latest. 



There is also no information to be got of the great Kalahari 

 Desert, whither I believe many animals go during the rainy season, 

 and where they are comparatively safe from pursuit, except from the 

 Bushmen. 



I have taken lat. 18° as my northern limit of S. Africa. 



The following list of the specimens which I sent home, and which 

 are now in the Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy of the 

 University of Cambridge, has been drawn up by J. W. Clark, M.A., 

 F.Z.S., Superintendent of the Museum.
