4. — Mammalia. By Glover M. Allen. 



Specimens representing twenty -four species were obtained by Mr. 

 Wulsin and of these three, the Musk-Shrew, the Rasse, and the Roof 

 Rat, are introduced from the East. Of the rest there are twelve 

 lemuroids, four insectivores, three bats, the Cryptoprocta, and the 

 native River Hog. The Eastern Forest, as might be expected, 

 proved most rich in species, and here most of the lemuroids and 

 insectivores were secured. In the dry country of the southwest part 

 of the island, the Verreaux's Sifaka and the Red-fronted Lemur were 

 the common species. No success attended the efforts to trap the small 

 native rodents or carnivores. Two skins of a free-tailed bat (Chae- 

 rephon), here named as new, represent the group with a white belly 

 and axillary spot, replaced on the mainland of Africa by C. emini. 



Centetidae. 



1. Centetes ecaudatus (Schreber). Tenrec. 



A single specimen from Ambatondrazaka differs greatly from the 

 three others previously in the Museum's collection, in its much less 

 spiny pelage, which is nearly uniform dark reddish brown. It is 

 unfortunate that the three specimens are without indication of exact 

 locality, for their uniformly pale coloration suggests that more than 

 one geographic race may be found to occur. 



2. Ericulus setosus (Schreber). Hedgehog Tenrec. 

 Seven specimens from Didy, Eastern Forest.
