This handsome mungoose forms a remarkable addition to 
the mammal fauna of South Africa, being conspicuously 
different from its only near ally /7. pulverulentus, and is a 
noteworthy result of the exploration carried on by Mr. Rudd’s

Report A.—Is a summary for the year 1899, by the Late Director 
G. M. Dawson, 1900, noticing in general and particular the various 
lines of research and results of work by the Geological Surveyors, 
in Yukon, British Columbia, the Mackenzie and Saskatschewan 
Districts, Ontario and Quebec, Hudson Bay, New Brunswick, and 
Nova Scotia. Also work done in the Laboratory, Museum, and 
Library, together with Statistics of Minerals and Mines, and notices
