This distinct Golden Mole is by far the most stinking discovery 

 contained in the Knysna collection. Its skull and teeth were 

 figured in the Zululand paper * in conjuiiction with those of 

 other species then described, and a detailed account of it was 

 given by Thomas in the paper above quoted. 



In quoting t the name Bematiscits Cope 1892 as applicable to 

 the trevelyani and villosus group of Golden Moles, we omitted to 

 notice that an eai-lier name, Ghrysospcdaxt Gill 1884, had been 

 founded on the same two species, and would therefore have to be 

 used for the genus. 



" ' Swart mol ' of the Dutch. 



"This Mole is particularly plentiful in the forest, being the 

 only one found there, but is absent from the neighbourhood of 

 Plettenberg Bay."— C. H. B. G.

 Knysna. 



These specimens are very uniform in the small size of their 

 skulls, and the reduction of the inner cusp of p^ to a mere 

 rudiment. 



" Very common everywhere, especially in the forest. Is very 

 destructive to poultry, but is easily trapped." — C. H. B. G. 



12. Herpestes cafer Gmel. 

 <S . 1071. Knysna. 



" ' Groot Vaal Muishond ' of the Dutch. 



" Both nocturnal and diurnal. This Mongoose is now exceed- 

 ingly rare, having been trapped and poisoned owing to its fondness 

 for chickens. At one time they were to be seen in companies of 

 from four to six."— C. H.B.G.
