flushed a Uganda Duiker apparently which snorted or barked bushbuck-like 
several times as it ran away. I shined back along the road to camp but 
ra 
saw nothing until near camp where I shot a wild cat, %. When I got to 
camp I found the skinners had built a fire in front of the tent to 
frichten away a leopard which had come into camp at dark and growled

savagely near the chop boxes in front of the tent. It apparently had 
been attracted to carp by the small of the monkey skins. This is the 
first leopard we have heard here. No tracks have been seen on any of 
the roads. Turner went shining toward the Kakermgalission and shot a ? 
Wild cat and a half grown kitten. id: Delemere caught a giant Crocidura 
and a Legeada tritor, 1 Epimys hindei and 2 BH. peromyscus. ‘ent shining 
up the road again but saw only a night jar. Turner went down the road 
but saw nothing. Last night when we had the three wild cats in the flesh 
a wild cat came into the tent during the night and inspected them and 
left his tracks. The same (281) sort of a visit occured at Voi when there 
was a wild cat in the flesh in the camp. This cat and the one at Voi 
both caterwauled like house cats for some time. Heard a jackal close 
to camp giving his squealing bark vehemently. ib: During the P.M. a 
native came in with another Uganda Duiker and a giant rat which he had 
traped. The duiker was skinned ovt like the others with the head cut 
off. Several Mylomys were also brought in. Both of us went out at night 
shining but saw nothing. if: During the night a Genette walked about on 
the side of a ridge of the tent and I got up and went out with the light 
but shined it too far away to shoot. Broke camp at 10 A.M. after getting 
10 additional Tiriki porters from the local sultan or chief. Weather

clear. Passed through the shamba country were clusters of the nude Tiriki

working. Many of these came out and talkec to the porters as we passed.
