APPENDICES TO CHAPTER XVIII. 
391 
[22.] Hy^na striata. 
Found on the mountain from 3000 to 6000 feet. Prowls round 
native villages. Also met with in Taveita and Taita. 
23. Canis lateralis, Scl. 
a. Mosi, 5000 feet, August. 
Very common round the village, to which it is attracted by the 
chance of stealing refuse, &c. ; not otherwise found much above 
3000 feet. 
[24.] Canis, sp. 
Mr. Johnston several times saw and heard a species of dog or fox, 
which he was not able to obtain, but which looked rather like a large 
fox, and emitted a distinct bark, similar to that of a domestic dog. 
It is just possible that this was the rare Abyssinian Canis simensis , 
Rupp., no other animal appearing at all to agree with Mr. Johnston’s 
description. Native name, Nzudu, 
[25.] SciURUS ERYTHROPUS ? 
On Kilima-njaro, between 3000 and 7000 feet. 
[26 ] Xerus, sp. 
Taveita forest. 
[27.] Graphiurus capensis. 
Kilima-njaro, 6000 feet. Nocturnal habits. Vide illustration, p. 392. 
[28.] Mus, sp. h 
A small black rat infesting native houses. 
[29.1 Aulacodus swindernianus 1 
Reported by natives near Taveita. Native name, MbuJcu. 
[30.] Hystrix cristata. 
Very common in plains. 
[31] Lepus capensis. 
Killed near Taveita in plains. 
32. Hyrax Brucei, Gray (?). 
«, b. $ and $, 10,000 feet, on the south side of the mountain, 
26th October. 
Native name in Ki-caga, Kimburu. 
Fairly common in the mountain-forests, where they live entirely in 
the trees, and not among the rocks. They do not descend below about 
7000 feet and range up to 11,000 feet. These two specimens w T ere 
brought alive to Mr. Johnston; but the female, after giving birth to 
three young, died almost at once, and the male, refusing to eat, also 
died in three or four days. 
The specimens agree exactly, so far as can be made out from skins 
only, with the type of Gray’s H. irrorata (Ann. Mag. N. H. 1869, 
p. 242), a species, however, which Mr. Blanford (Geol. Zool. Abyss, 
p. 252, 1870) has shown to be probably not specifically separable
