The most important difference between the faunas of Kenia and Kilimanjaro 

 is that the Bongo and the Black Forest Hog do not extend into the latter district. 

 Of less importance is perhaps the absence there of Genetta stuhlmanni which, however, 

 belongs to the Central Lake district. Nandinia on the other hand is lacking on 

 Kenia as far as is known for the present. If the little known Cephalophus spadix 

 of Kilimanjaro ist most nearly allied to the West African C. niger as True has said, 

 it is another hint about the affinity with the Western forest fauna. It does not 

 seem impossible, however, that such an animal or a related form might be found in 

 the thick forests on Kenia as well, although not yet known. 



As a summary of the discussion above may be concluded that in the district 

 on the Eastern and Northeastern sides of Kenia three different faunas meet and partly 

 intermingle viz. 1° the forest fauna of the mountain itself which shows several im- 

 portant western affinities, 2° the fauna of the steppe country which is a typical East 

 African fauna s. str., and 3° the fauna of the thornbush which north of Guaso Nyiri 

 is an almost pure Somali fauna. 



There are thus three different types of faunas bound each to its own type of 

 landscape (conf. above). 



In the cultivated region, which mostly has been conquered from the forest, 

 remains of the forest fauna meet invaders from the bushsteppe, and in some degree 

 this is also the case in the xerophilous thin forests at the edge of the steppe. 



In the district between Guaso Nyiri river in the north, and Tana river in the 

 south many members of the Somali fauna and the East- African fauna s. str. meet. 

 The former which preeminently is bound to the thornbush extends with some of its 

 members still further south along the strips of thornbush in some instances all the 

 way to the northern side of Kilimanjaro.
