[17.] CYN.ELURUS VENATOR.

20. Herpestes gaffer, Gm. (1). 
a. Mosi, 5000 feet, August.

for the sake of the fowls and other prey which it can manage to steal 
there.

whether this is H. ichneumon , L., or H. cafjer , Gm.; but the skin has, 
on the whole, rather more the appearance of H. caffer , and it is, there¬ 
fore, provisionally referred to the southern form. 
[21.] Hy^na crocuta. 
Yery abundant in vicinity of Kilima-njaro, but scarcely ascends 
higher than 3000 feet.
