boundaries of Nyasalaud, and there obtained a small collection of 

 mammals, some from the Song\\e Kiver, and some brought in by 

 native collectors from still further northward. The present paper 

 gives a list of these specimens and also includes a few additional 

 mammals from Zomba and other places in Southern Xyasa, among 

 which are two Genets presented by Mr. H. C. McDonald. The 

 paper thus forms another, the sixth, of the series read before this 

 Society upon the Mammals of Nyasaland.
