 This is a further proof of the well known fact that the mammalian fauna of Africa is 

 extremely rich, and that it has developed a remarkably great number of local, or geograph- 

 ical races. Although thus the mammals of a certain genus inhabiting a certain locality 

 often very plainly differ from the corresponding ones of another locality, they do not, 

 however, as a rule differ much inter se, nor vary very much at one and the same locality. 

 Capt. Arrhenius has, however, by this very valuable collection in several instances 

 brought to light a remarkably great individual variation among certain mammals, which 

 is the better apparent, because he has been fortunate enough to obtain good series of
