[These large Eats were not uncommon on Ruwenzori up to 7000 ft. ; they appeared to 

 inhabit chietiy the more open and cultivated lands below the forest-line and, according 

 to the natives, did a good deal of damage among the bean-crops. They live in 

 burrows in the ground and seem to be entirely nocturnal. The natives eat their 

 flesh and make the skins into small bags or pouches for carrying pipes and tobacco, &c. 

 Native name " Kassumba." — R. B. W.]

 the Mpanga Forest, and was not uncommon. — R. B. W.]
