An example of this night monkey, which is distinctly 
different from the common species, was purchased 
on June 26th. 
Maholi Galago {Galago maholi A. Smith). 
Hab., South Africa. 
Four of these diminutive lemurs were purchased on 
January 15th. When disturbed these animals jump 
long distances with a startling suddenness, that is 
suggestive of a grasshopper, and it is unfortunate 
that, ordinarily, their activity is too nocturnal for 
observation. 
Caffre Cat (Felis caffra Demarest). 
Hab., Africa. 
On September 22d a pair of African cats were received 
by purchase. In general, they resemble the typical 
domestic gray and black tabby, but the body stripes 
are narrower and more evenly disposed. 
The Caffre cat is the one unquestioned progenitor 
of the common cat, but, as it has been domesticated 
in Africa, individuals of undoubted purity are not 
readily obtained. That the young from this pair 
show no variation is in favor of their unmixed 
descent from the wild species. 
Northwestern Pine Marten {Mustela atrata caurina 
Merriam). 
Hab., northwestern California to Puget Sound. 
Four specimens believed to be of this sub-species were 
received from Oregon on December 26th. 
Wagner's Mouse, whirling variety {Mus wagneri rotans 
Fortuyn). 
Hab., Japan by introduction, a variety by artificial 
selection. 
Six of these curious animals, commonly known as 
waltzing mice, were added to the collection on Jan- 
uary 21st. They have recently been identified as 
descended from the Wagner's mouse of China, and 
the above sub-specific name has been proposed for 
them.
