138 ON MAMMALS FROM THE TRANSVAAL. [Feb. 21, 



Capt. G. E. Barrett-Hamilton obtained specimens at Vredefort 

 Road, in the Orange River Colony, that agree well with Mr. Grant's 

 skins. 



" Zulu name in Transvaal ' Gwaja.' 



"Common. Found only on the high rolling veldt, devoid of 

 stones. It makes a form under a tuft of grass in Avhich it lies 

 very close, often rising from under one's feet. In wet weather it 

 will not lie down, but remains sitting up in the form. It appears 

 to feed during the night only."^ — G. H. B. G. 



23. Lepus saxatilis Cuv. 



$ . 725. Wakkerstroom. 



§ . 777. Zuiu-bron. 



An examination of the incisors of L. saxatilis shows that the 

 extra fine line of enamel described by Thomas in L. angolensis * 

 also occurs in this Hare. 



24. PRONOLAGUSt, Sp. 



S . 770, 783. Zuurbron. 



We are hoping to obtain specimens from the original locality 

 of P, crassicaudatus curry i Thos., of which the typical skin is in 

 veiy bad condition. Pending their arrival we do not propose to 

 express any opinion about the Zuurbron Rabbit. 



"Zulu name in Transvaal ' Ntenash.' 



" Common, but difficult to secure owing to its lying very close. 

 It inhabits all rocky places, both flats, krantzes, and kopjes. 

 Feeds at night only."— (7. H. B. G. 



25. Procavia capensis Pall. 



(S . 744. Zviurbron. 



c? . 706, 732, 737, 738. $ . 700,720, 731, 739. Wakkerstroom. 



" Zulu name in Transvaal ' Imbile.' 



" Common. Inhabits the krantzes and rocks on the steep 

 mountain-sides, and the locks on the deep gullies thickly over- 

 grown with vegetation. In this district there appear to be two 

 forms, one distinctly redder than the other, which can easily be 

 distinguished in the wild state. These colours are pei-haps only 

 due to seasonal changes of pelage. Strictly a vegetable feeder, 

 often visiting the Kaffir lands and doing great damage to the 

 pumpkins. 



" Exclusively diurnal."— (7. E. B. G. 



26. Cephalophus grimmi Linn. 

 $. 780. Zuurbron. 



" Zulu name in Transvaal ' Mpuusi.' " — C. H. B. G.
