Unfortunately, labels are missing from both specimens, 

 but there are two skulls labelled as above which clearly 

 belong to them, but which to which cannot be decided 

 absolutely. Of the two specimens, one with rather 

 coarser grizzling and a bright rufous tinge on the 

 face and crown closely resembles a specimen in the 

 British Museum collection from Zomba, British Central 

 Africa, and the skull, too, corresponds very closely 

 with Ca. 7 (above), allowing for the younger state of 

 the latter which still has its milk canines unshed. The 

 other specimen has the face and crown tinged with black, 

 and closely resembles a specimen in the collection 

 obtained by Mr. Boyd Alexander on the " Right bank of 

 the Zambesi." The skull of this specimen, however, does 

 not correspond well with Ca. 10, which for its size (it is 

 very slightly larger than Ca. 7, and also slightly older, the 

 milk canines having been recently shed) is broader, 

 especially between the bullae and the canines, and stouter, 

 and has larger bullae than any specimen I have seen. 

 However, in view of the doubt in the allotment of the 

 skulls, I think the safest course is to identify them merely 

 as M. gracilis, to which group both specimens undoubt- 

 edly belong.

Mungos, sp. 

 The specimen is a flat skin, with the feet missing ; the 

 label gives the date November 20, 1905, but no locality 

 or serial number, and there is no skull. Identification is 

 impossible beyond that it is a member of the albicauda 

 group.
