[Felis leo (The Lion)]. 



" ' Mkango ' of the Lake tribes, ' Pandoro ' of the 

 Chikunda, ' Nkalamo' of the Asenga. 



" Lions are common throughout the country but are 

 seldom seen, especially in the more wooded districts. 



" The food of lions appears by no means to consist 

 entirely of large mammals, as they will kill and eat 

 porcupines, cane-rats, etc. I have even had fruits pointed 

 out to me which it was stated formed the food of lions in 

 times of scarcity."

[Felis pardus (The Leopard)]. 



" ' Nyalugwe ' of the Lake tribe, ' Kaiengo ' of the 

 Asenga, 'Mbalale' of the xAlala. 



" Common throughout the country. The leopard 



seems to prey largely upon smaller carnivores, and I have 



several times come across specimens of F. served killed by 



them. It is also remarkably fond of dogs. Cane-rats 



too are killed in large numbers by them."
