3. Papio anubis F. Cuv. 



6 . 8. Jebel Mavra. 7000'. 

 Sliot and pi'esented to Admiral Lynes by Mr. Cecil McCoiiBel. 



4. Galago sennaariensis Less, 



c?. 781,804. $ , 783. Kulme, Wadi Aribo. 3300'. 



5. Eidolon helvum Kerr. 



No specimens of this bat were obtained. But a stem of a 

 small tree, which Mr. A. S. Brown has identified as being either 

 an Odina or a, Sderocarya, completely gnawed tliroiigh, was foimd 

 on Jebel Marra and brought home by the collectors as evidence 

 of the existence of some large rodent .upon the mountain. The 

 tooth-marks, however, are very difierent from those of any 

 rodent. 



In 1920 Mr. R. H. Bunting, of the Agricultural Department 

 of the Gold Coast, sent us some specimens of Arcmcaria, from a 

 grove at Aburi, which had been seriously damaged by large bats 

 in a time of drought. With the tim,ber came some of the bats, 

 caught in the act, and they proved to be Eidolon helvum. The 

 bitten wood from Jebel Marra is exactly like that from Aburi, 

 and may be regaixled, perhaps, as good evidence of the presence 

 of this bat in certain seasons upon the mountain.
