Mammals of this region, reference may be made to a paper by 
Mr. de Winton on a collection from Shendy*, to the north of 
Khartoum, to the same author’s work* in conjunction with the late 
Dr. J. Anderson on the Mammals of Egypt generally, and to a 
small paper’ of my own on Mr. Hawker’s collection from the 
Fashoda region of the Nile.
