By W. E. DE WINTON, F.Z.S. [Eeceived December 1, 1897-] Owing to the difficulty of entering the country on account the inhospitality of the inhabitants, very little is known of the fauna of Morocco, and, as is usual, the least known are the Mammalia. Practically nothing has been done in the way of collecting during recent years, and such animals as are known have almost entirely been obtained alive for trade purposes, or have been collected in the neighbourhood of the coast-towns frequented by Europeans. It was with great pleasure therefore that I undertook, at the request of Mr. J. S. Whitaker, F.Z.S., the task of working out the present collection made by Mr. E. Dodson, a young naturalist, who went out on behalf of Mr. Whitaker in the spring of this year to collect birds and mammals in that country. Going inland from Tangier, the ordinary trade-route was taken to Fez, thence to Mekinez and back to the coast north of Babat. Hence the coast-route was taken southward to Mazagan, thence striking inland to Morocco city. From Morocco city Mr. Dodson first visited the Great Atlas range to the south at Amsmiz and penetrated to Imintella; then, retracing his steps to Amsmiz, he followed the northern slopes to Iniinzat; from here the mountains were again visited, stays being made at Enzel, Zarakten, Tetula, and Glarvi (? Glauwi); thence he returned south of Morocco city via Fruga, Sierzet, and Ogadel to Mogador on the coast. Bas el Ain, in the Brovince of Haha, and Ecru were the most southerly points visited.
