black skin brought from South Africa by Mr. Selous; in his 
specimen the spots are easily distinguishable in a strong light. 
Cheetah. Cijncclurus vcnator. One was shot by Mr. Jack- 
son near Kahe, only one other was, I believe, met with. 
Viverra Civetta. Seen in Taveta. 
Genetta Tigrina. Very often caught in traps in Taveta, 
where it used to make great havoc with the poultry. 
The Spotted TTy.ena. Iiycena crocuta (Swahili, Fisi). Very 
common everywhere on the plains, but not extending far up 
the mountain. 
The Striped Hyaena. Hycena striata. Very seldom seen. 
One was shot on the plains. 
Canis lateralis. Common on the plains. 
Wild dog. (Swahili, Mbwa Mwitu.) Two large packs were 
twice seen on the plains near Useri, and we once met with 
them near Maungu on the march down to the coast. 
Another small dark-coloured fox is often seen on the plains, 
generally five or six being together. 
Hare. Lepus capensis (Swahili, Sungora). Often seen and 
killed on the plains. 
Hyrax Brucei (Kicaga, name Kivuburu). Very common in 
the forest on Kilima-njaro at high elevation. They live in holes 
in the trees, and are very noisy at night. The Wa-caga, who 
catch many of them alive, value their skins very much, sewing- 
several together and making a handsome cloak. 
Elephant. Elcplias Africanus (Swahili, Tembo—more often, 
Ndovu). In the dry season the elephants live in the thick 
damp forest of Kilima-njaro from 6000 to 9000 feet. Above 
this height we never observed any tracks. In the rainy season 
they descend the mountain, and are then fairly numerous in the 
thick bush under Sina’s or Mandara’s, but are then much 
hunted by the Wa-ramba, who at this season come all the 
way from U-rambani to hunt, Mandara yearly employing 
some to hunt for him. They use poisoned arrows. In this 
bush the sportsman must keep a sharp look-out for elephant 
pitfalls, which are very numerous and ingeniously concealed;
