long and careful observation that I at last discovered its habits at Wakker- 
stroom. The Belfast specimen is smaller than any of those in my present 
series, and, having the sides of its face whiter, is probably a young one. 
This species is apparently also found in the Orange Free State and 
Basutoland, as four people to whom I have shown the specimens recognized 
them at once, and one informed me that he had often caught them at 
daybreak when they were out feeding.

In dealing with this species, Wroughton states that Gray’s punctulatus 
may be taken as typical ; but on the face of the series of skins above 
mentioned, I think it more likely that those from the Transvaal are typical, 
as they give fairly even measurements both in the high and low country, 
and taking the climatic conditions into consideration we may expect to 
find much the same (though perhaps not identical) colouring as in those 
from Bechuanaland. Along the coastline there would seem to be another 
larger race, for Wroughton has apparently given measurements of the type 
of punctulatus ; and further south a still larger race exists, which I am 
here naming. 
81. Mungos caaui Swinny i, subsp. nov. 
In most respects this new subspecies is larger than the typical M. caaui , 
but has a shorter tail and short black tip measuring about 75-85 mm., as 
against over 100 in the others. Type: No. 940, ad. ex coll. H. H.

foot 48 (Pskin 50), ear 24.” Skull : cond. bas. leng. 67, bas. leng. 60*3
