EDWARDS’ ICHNEUMON. 
Herhestes EdwardiL Desm. 
Edwards, in his Gleanings (p. 199), has figured 
this, which GeofFroy, in his Paper on the History of 
Egypt, in the Memoirs of the Institute, has described 
as a new species, from that plate. It is distinguished 
by the back and tail being annulated with brown on 
an olive ground ; the nose and ears are brown-black ; 
and the tail pointed. It is found in the East Indies. 
THE CAFFRARIAN ICHNEUMON. NEMS. BUFF. 
Viverra Cafra. Gm. 
This species is about two feet long, and is found 
in Southern Africa, according to BulFon ; but Geof- 
froy says in India. It is uniform in its colour, which 
is a dark brown, except the tip of the tail, which is 
quite black.
