Dear Tom,

Many thanks for your up-to-date and authoritative list.  I shall correct names that we have been using as appropriate.  Couple of matters arising:

I have uploaded some of the images you expressed interest in to a DropBox folder (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8afhvxvkvq7sov4/AADU_DRZeDXfQOGZ1-Hl6T23a?dl=0), focusing on Harvey’s duiker’s front ends, porcupine rear ends, and the [slender] mongoose.

One folder, ‘Mystery Mammal’, contains five images of a small critter wandering up a trail. Appears to be tailless. Middle shot shows a hind foot. Rather hyrax-like, no? But what’s it doing out in the forest on the ground at 5 AM?  Have never heard or seen nor heart of them in Karura. Maybe a pouched rat lost its tail?  Your views?

And the Cercopithecus… Must we really call the ‘Syke’s’ a ‘Kolb’s’ after all these years of conventional wisdom? Guess so. I have to say that Jonathan K’s accounts of the Guenons (if that’s even a proper set term these days) leaves my head spinning. Give me the word, and I will spread the word to Karura’s constituents through the social media. Will be almost impossible to get some of the older Muthaiga residents to change!

Thanks for your help and it’s good to be in touch. 

All best,

Harvey
