A CHECKLIST OF AFRICAN MAMMALS
By Glover M. Allen
Since the publication of Trouessart's Catalogus Mammalium in
1904-05, over thirty years have elapsed. In the meantime the conti-
nent of Africa has been increasingly explored and intensive collecting
has been carried on in almost every considerable area. This has re-
sulted in a vast increase in our knowledge of its mammalian fauna and
often, unfortunately, in a multiplicity of names applied to supposedly
distinct forms.
At the present time it may be said that the mammalian fauna of
Africa is fairly well ascertained, and that the likelihood of many more
really new genera or species being found is small. Nevertheless much
revisionary work is yet to be done as adequate collections accumulate
in the larger museums. As a first necessity in indicating what has been
done and where further study is urgent, a complete checklist of the
names applied to African mammals is here presented, intended to in-
clude all those currently regarded as valid as well as all synonyms
through July 1938, so far as possible. It is hardly to be hoped that
no names have been omitted from this catalogue, yet the compiler
believes that what omissions may be detected are unimportant. So
far as library resources have been available, the great majority of the
references have been carefully checked with the originals and the cita-
tions of names are as originally given, with their type localities follow-
ing each.
The area covered is the continent of Africa west of the Suez Canal,
with the inclusion of Madagascar and the Mascarene islands, and the
seas adjacent to the continent. Domesticated animals, unless feral,
and the human races are purposely omitted, but with these excep-
tions the list includes all species known to have lived within historic
times.
In citing the references, the title of the work is first given, followed
by the volume, then a colon, and after that the page numbers and the
date. The "type locality" follows the reference. Where there is no
volume number the page reference is preceded by "p." Genera are
listed alphabetically under their respective families, and the species
alphabetically under their genera. Where the range is ascertained,
it is briefly stated.

Considerable pains have been given to stating as exactly as possible
the actual dates of publication. Where, as in the case of the Proceed-
ings of the Zoological Society of London, the various "parts" for a
given year are not issued in the same calendar year, the year for which
the part is published is first given, and the actual date of issue con-
cludes the reference. For guidance in ascertaining the dates of publica-
tion of certain works, use has been made of Sherborn's "Index" and the
following special papers : —
Duncan, F. Martin
1937. On the dates of publication of the Society's "Proceedings," 1859-
1926. With an appendix containing the dates of pubhcation of
"Proceedings," 1830-1858, compiled by the late F. H. Waterhouse,
and of the "Transactions," 1833-1869, by the late Henry Peavot,

Although Shortridge (Mamm. South West Africa, 1: 9, 1934) regards this
as a species distinct from Papio comatus, Schwarz (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (10)

that the type may have come from the northern Transvaal instead of
from Potchefstroom.

Range: Mountain forests of eastern Congo Beige, from Mulu, 0° 10' S., to
Baraka on Lake Tanganyika, 4° 19' S. in a narrow strip, nearly limited
eastward by Kigezi, Uganda, and on the west by Walikale, Congo Beige.
Schultz, A. H. (On some distinguishing characters of the Mountain Gorilla,
Journ. Mammalogy, 15: 51-61, Feb. 1934), has pointed out various characters
of this gorilla, and regards it as sufficiently different to be treated as a species
distinct from G. gorilla gorilla, of which it is nevertheless the representative
form in the eastern part of the forest area.

Homo . Congo Pygmy
Congo Pygmy of Congo forests and its desert race, the Bushman, of South-
west Africa form a basic species.
The Bantu and other Negro races of eastern and South Africa probably
represent hybrid types between the Pygmy of the forest and Asiatic races.

Felis Linnseus
Note : The old genus Felis Linnaeus was used in a widely inclusive sense, and
has in later years been variously divided into groups by different authors, some
of whom give generic, others subgeneric rank to all or certain ones of these
divisions. At present, a conservative treatment suggests retaining most of the
groups in a subgeneric sense as members of Felis. See Allen, J. A., Severt-

Felis fusca F. A. A. Meyer, Zool. Annalen, 1: 394, 1794. Bengal. Pocock
(Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 558, 8 July 1932) writes that he "cannot find
any differences either in size, colour, pattern, cranial, or dental characters
between the leopards of India . . . and those of Kenya and Tanganyika,"
and adopts fusca as the subspecific name for those of both areas, with vari-
ous races intervening. The implication is that the Indian and East
African leopards in turn are not different from typical pardus.

nudum, but Holhster, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 34: 77, 31 Mar. 1921,
regards it as a valid name for the genus. Since both Choiropotamus and
Koiropotamus are from the same words as Chceropotamus, it seems best to
accept the better-known Potamochcerus.

distinct from the lelwel group, Ruxton and Schwarz (1929) consider the races
of both as subspecies of Alcelaphus buselaphus. The latter authors believe the
following names are based on hybrids:

Christy (1929) points out that "two not uncommon and rather remarkable
abnormal forms or tangential variations which do not conform with the general
type of horn" occur with the more usual type; to these he refers as "var. re-
clinis" (base wide, ridged, and tips bent forward and upward), and "var. plani-
ceros" (lobster-clawed, and tips lying nearly in the plane of the face).

Shortridge contrasts the characters of Equus quagga and E. zebra, regarding

Based on the Ward's Zebra of Ewart, described and figured in Proc. Zool.
Soc. London, for 1904, 2: 181, text-f. 35, 36, 18 Apl. 1905. For discussion
of the origin of the specimen see Ridgewaj^ Proc. Zool. Soc. London, for
1909, p. 798-799, 18 Apl. 1910.
Believed to be a menagerie hybrid between E. zebra and E. burchellii chap-
mani.
"Only fifty or sixty of South Africa's rarest animal, the mountain zebra,
are left alive, and no funds are available for the further protection of the two
small herds, according to an announcement made by Dr. E. L. Gill, director of
the Cape Town Natural History Museum. A strict law for the protection of
this animal was passed some time ago, but has never been strictly enforced, so
that hunters have done their worst. There were 2,000 animals a few years ago,
only fifty or sixty now, and this small fragment is apparently doomed." —
Science, vol. 83: 6 Mar. 1936.
