MAMMALIA.

>! Switzerland. A list of the fossil and recent Mammalia has been given by 
Prof. Riitimeyer (see above, p. 3). 
^ North China. M. A. Milne-Edwards mentions provisionally 10 now Mam- 
malia from Mongolia and Mantschuria. 
v/ Japan. Dr. v. Martens (/. c, pp. 7 6-87 f see above, p. 1) gives a general 
sketch of the mammals of this country. 
V Egypt. Dr. R. Hartmann has supplied a great desideratum 
in determining and enumerating the Mammalia represented by 
the ancient Egyptians, Zeitschr. f. agypt. Sprache u. Alterthums- 
kunde, ii. pp. 7-12, 19-28. It appears that many animals were 
represented by them which are not indigenous in Egypt, but 
were imported as objects of curiosity or domesticated at later 
periods. We give a complete list of the animals recognized by 
the author, as the journal quoted is not easily accessible to 
zoologists : — 
Oynocephalus hamadryad and hahuin. Cercopithecus griseo-viridis and 
pyrrhonotus. Pteropus in several species. Erinaceus libycus and eethopictis. 
Crocidura crassicauda. ? Sorex indicus. Fells leo, leopardus, guttata, servalj 
caligata, caracal, manicidata, domestica, Herpestes ichneumon. Genetta mil- 
garis. Viverra civetta. ? Rhabdogale mustelina. Hyaena striata and cro- 
cuta. Lycaon pictus. Canis aureus, var. lupaster, niloticus, familiaris in Jive 
races. Ursus arctos. Mus tectorum. Dipiis. Hystrix cristata. Lepua 
(Bgyptiacus. (Camelus dromedarius is not represented.) Oerviis dama. Ca- 
melopardalis. Antilope dorcas, ruficollis, megoloceros, leucotis, leucoryx, heisa^ 
addax, huhalis, and several others indistinctly represented. Ibex nuhiana, 
Capra hircus in two principal types and various intermediate forms. Ammo- 
tragus tragelaphus. Ovis arics in three varieties and numerous intermediate 
forms ; the variety steatopygos is not indigenous. Bos taurus in three breeds. 
Hippopotamus. Phacochoerus celiani. Sus domesticus. Equus caballus (a 
late importation), asinus *. Hyrax. Rhinoceros. Elephas cfricanus. Oryc- 
teropqs capensis. The paper contains many highly interesting observations 
on the races of the domestic animals, upon which we cannot enter here. 
,On the domestic animals of Egypt see Sbnoner, A., p. 12. 
Nubia. Sir S. W. Baker’s ‘ The Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia and the 
Sword Hunters of the Hamran Arabs,’ London, 1867, 8vo, pp. 696, con- 
tains numerous observations on the animals met with by the celebrated tra- 
veller. 
-A North-eastern Africa. Messrs, v. Heuglin and Fitzinger have attempted to 
give a complete list of the Mammals of North-eastern Africa. The nucleus 
of the list appears to have been the collections made by the former gentleman, 
to which Dr. Fitzinger has added other species from works accessible to him. 
The list is neither complete nor critically worked out. The species are not 
described ; only some remarks on their geographical distribution are given. 
The list contains 12 Quadrumana, 38 Bats, 46 Carnivores, 16 Insectivores, 
62 Rodents, 2 Edentata, 13 Pachyderms, 4 Solidungula, 61 Ruminants, and 
6 Cetaceans. Sitzgsber. Ak. Wiss. Wien, liv. pp. 637-611.
