During the delimitation of the boundary between the German 

 and British territories west of the Tictoria Nyanza, Col. 0. Delme- 

 Radchfie, the British Commissioner, has caused collections to be 

 made illustrative of the fauna, and these he has now presented to 

 the I^ational Museum. The actual collecting was done by Mr. 

 W. G. Doggett, who had ah^eady acted as zoological collector 

 under Sir Harry Johnston t, and who was carrying on the work 

 in a most successful manner, when he was unhappily drowned by 

 the upsetting of a canoe while in pursuit of fish, so that his 

 death was directly due to his enthusiasm foi- his Natural History 

 work. 



The majority of the animals now described were obtained at 

 Burumba, Ankole, a locality on the Anglo-German boundary, and 

 in a region as yet practically unrepi'esented in our collections. 

 They form therefore very welcome accessions to the Museum. 



Of the novelties special attention may be drawn to the local 

 form of the Bufialo (Bubalus caffer radcliffei), ah-eady exhibited to 

 the Society i, and to the fine striped Stoat which we have named 

 in honour of Mr. Doggett.

 their relation to other members of the group.

§ The colours of the iris have been shown by a patch of paint placed on the 

 lahel by Mr. Doggett, and we have determined the shades so given in Ridgway's 

 ^ Nomenclature of Colors,' 1886.
