The lion, panther, elephant, and rhinoceros are also of 



course among the most characteristic African Mammalia 



Of Rhinoceroses there are apparently three species, of 



which only two, R. simus and R. bicornis, are at all known. 



The third has been lately reported. Also limited to this 



region are the zebras and quaggas, the last practically, 



if not actually, extinct. Of chimpanzees there are two 



well-marked species, the "common" chimpanzee and 



Anthropopithecus calvus, a species discovered by du 



Chaillu and until lately represented by a living specimen 



("Sally") at the Zoological Society's gardens. It is 



quite likely that these are not the only two species of
