aberrant race with ears and tail more hairy than in the ty- 

 pical form. The skull is also a little smaller with a condylo- 

 incisive length of only 35 mm,, although other measure- 

 ments are rather similar to those recorded by Heller. As 

 there is only one specimen, it is, however, difficult to ex- 

 press a definite opinion. 



A young animal caught at the same locality 9 Febr. is 

 probably of the same species, but its colour is much greyer. 



Epiiiiys couclia panya Heller. 



A young specimen from Juja farm ^Vi and another from 

 Donya Sabuk ^Vj 1914. 



Epimys liindei Thomas. 



Three specimens from Donya Sabuk resp. ^Vi? Vs and 

 1% 1914. 



Epimys jujensis n. sp. 



A large, long-tailed Rat with dark feet, apparently in some 

 respects resembling Epimys rattiformis Matschie, but partly 

 differing from the same as well in colour as in dimensions. 



Fur above rather harsh, basally slaty grey, with tips 

 most similar to »dark fawn» (Rép. de Couleurs 307,2). The 

 back is thickly overlaid with long brownish black, or at 

 least black-tipped hairs, which produce a general colour of 

 dark brown. The sides of the body are lighter and more 

 greyish, because the tips of the fur there is paler, almost 

 fading to sandy, while the grey basal parts become visible, 

 and the long hairs are less numerous and their tips less dark 

 brown. On the hind quarters, the tighs and at the root of 

 the tail the »dark fawn» dominates. Lower parts uniform, 

 rather dark slate grey, except that the scrotal säck has a 

 brownish tinge. The före legs and hands are dark brown, but 

 the fingers white; hind legs, feet and toes dark brown. Tail 

 uniform above and below, sparsely beset with short black hairs, 

 which in the basal half are scarcely longer than the fully vi- 

 sible scales. 9 V? — 1^ rings of scales to the centimetre at the 

 middle and basal half of the tail, 17 — 18 rings of scales to the 

 centimetre near the tip of the tail where also the hairs equal
