[Manis, sp.]. 



" A species of Manis appears to be known to natives 

 from the mid Zambesi Valley, and it is not unusual to see 

 its scales worn by them as charms. Further north, except 

 from Nyasaland, I could hear of no record of its occur- 

 rence." 



[Orycteropus afer (The Aard-vark)]. 



" 'Mpendwa ' of most native tribes. 



" Common all over the country, but owing to its 

 nocturnal habits never seen. It is very occasionally dug 

 out of its burrow by natives."
