GALAGO 51 



A majority of the various species and races is found on the eastern 

 portion of the Continent, extending from Somaliland, Sennaar and the 

 vicinity of the White Nile below Khartoum on the north, to Mashona- 

 land on the south, including the Island of Zanzibar. In the most 

 northerly part of this eastern section at Faffan, near Harrar in Somali- 

 land G. dunni was discovered; G. sennaariensis is found ranging 

 southward to Ankole west of Victoria Nyanza, and Nyassaland, and 

 then as far as Mashonaland up to an elevation of 5,000 feet. Next, 

 in the Boran Galla country northeast of Lake Rudolph in Abyssinia, 

 G. gallarum has been obtained, its range however not having been yet 

 ascertained. At Katwi on the Athi River in British East Africa, G. 

 hindsi, and at Escarpment Station, G. kikuyuensis have been 

 obtained. From Mombassa on the coast comes G. lasiotis, recogniz- 

 able by the white tip to the tail, but how far it may extend into the 

 interior, or whether it is confined to the forest along the coast has 

 not been determined. In Uganda to the north and west of Victoria 

 Nyanza, H. thomasi belonging to the genus Hemigalago is found, 

 the species having been taken at Dumo and Fort Beni on the Semliki 

 River. Whether it is confined to Uganda, or extends its range beyond 

 the river into the forests of the Congo Free State is not known. At 

 Kirui, Elgon, 6,000 feet altitude, G. braccatus albipes was discovered. 

 German East Africa contains several species of Galago, and in the 

 northern part on the heights of Mt. Kilimanjaro, G. braccatus is 

 found. On the banks of the Pangani River not far from the coast G. 

 panganiensis has been procured, while in the interior on the Ugalla 

 River east of Lake Tanganyika, the rather remarkable species G. 

 badius was discovered. The island of Zanzibar has apparently two 

 species, G. zanzibaricus, and G. crassicaudatus, the latter under the 

 name of G. agisymbanus, but there seem to be no adequate reasons for 

 separating the island form specifically from the animal dwelling on the 

 coast opposite and ranging through the forests as far south as Quili- 

 mane, Mozambique, where also G. kirki is found. Coming from 

 Nyassaland and extending its range into the interior to Tete on the 

 Zambesi in British Central Africa, G. mossambicus occurs. In this 

 district in Nyassaland south of the Lake in the mountains, and also 

 from Zomba to the southeast of Lake Nyassa we have G. nyass^e, 

 which ranges southward in Portuguese Southeast Africa to Inhambane. 

 South of this, in the vicinity of Delagoa Bay, G granti is met with. 

 From Zululand comes G. zuluensis, and finally completing the list
