During his career as Governor or Commissioner of British African 

 Dependencies, Sir Harry Johnston has always conducted a scientific 

 exploration of the countries under his charge, and presented the collections 

 thus made to the National Museum. The most important of the series 

 is that from Nyasa Land, on which a number of papers in the Pro- 

 ceedings of the Zoological Society have been based (P.Z.S., 1892, 

 p. 546 ; 1893, p. 500 ; 1894, p. 136 ; 1896, p. 788 ; 1897, p. 925), which 

 included the types of Pa/pio pruinosus, Crocidnra Jixa, Sciurus lucifer, 

 Thryonomys sclateri, Lepus whytei, Procavia johnstoni, and many 

 others. 



But the best known of Sir Harry Johnston's discoveries is that of 

 the Okapi (Okapia johnstoni, Sclater) of the Semliki Forest, of which 

 the original strips of skin and the later more perfect specimens were 

 obtained and presented by him. (See E. Ray Lankester, Trans. Zool.
