Felis paedtjs. 



Felis- pardus, Linn. Syst. Nat. ed. 10, toI. i. p. 41, 1758; ed. 12, vol. i. 

 p. 61, 1766. 



The Leopard is still found in South Africa, in the country 

 south of the Orange River, but is gradually being exterminated. 

 In Southern Rhodesia the species is by no means rare. 



29 —19. 7.15. 33 (female). Skin, mounted. July, 1895. Near the 



Sebakwi River, Eastern Matabililand, Southern Bhodesia. 



EAST AFRICAN SERVAL.

 p. 205, 1910. 



Closely allied to the typical race ; dark markings broad, the 

 median dorsal lines usually broken into quite short lengths. 

 General colour of body rich bufE, much as in the South African 

 form. 



Typical locality, Machakos, Ulu District, Kenya Colony. This 

 Serval appears to be widely distributed throughout East Africa, 

 specimens having been recorded from as far north as Lado, and 

 southwards through Kenya Colony into Tanganyika Territory. 



30 — 19. 7. 15. 34 (sex not recorded). Skin, mounted. . Sungarl

SOUTH AFRICAN CHEETAH. 



ACINONXX JUBATUS JUBATTJS. 



Felis jubata, Erxleben, Syst. Reg. Anim. p. 510, 1777. 

 Acinonyx jubatus, EUiot, Cat. Mamm. Field Mus. (Keld Mus. Zool. Pub. 

 No. 115, vol. viii.) p. 396, 1907. 



The South African Cheetah is rather smaller than the East 

 African races, with the general ground-colour rather darker and 

 spots smaller ; in appearance it more nearly resembles the Indian 

 Cheetah, Acinonyx venaticus. 



In South Africa the Cheetah is still plentiful in Southern 

 Rhodesia and parts of the Kalahari. 



31 —19.7.15.37. September, 1885. Umfuli River, Maahonaland,
