MAMMALS OF ANGLO-EGYPTIAN SUDAN — SETZER 461 



washed with BufFy Brown; hands, feet, and tail dark brown. Skull 

 relatively large and robust, upper too throw short and broad, inter- 

 orbital region wide, braincase wide, rostrum short and relatively 

 narrow, posterior choanae not constricted, third upper unicuspids 

 slightly larger than second. 



Measurements of the Type Specimen: Total length 116; length 

 of tail 51; length of hind foot 13; length of ear 4; condyloincisive 

 length of the skull 18.7; greatest breadth of the braincase 8.4; greatest 

 maxillary breadth 5.9; length of palate 7.6; length of upper toothrow 

 7.9; least interorbital width 4.1. 



Comparisons: C. h. phaios differs from C. h. hildegardeae in gen- 

 erally darker color, wider braincase, and generally wider interorbitum. 



From C. h. altae, C. h. phaios differs in darker dorsal coloration, 

 lighter belly, shorter tail, and smaller skull in all measurements 

 taken. 



Remarks: C. h. phaios has been compared only with hildegardeae 

 and altae since they are the closest geographically. The three speci- 

 mens available are all remarkably alike in both skin and cranial 

 characters, more so than in any of the other Crocidura studied from 

 the Sudan.

Crocidura marila Thomas and Hinton, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 253, Jul}' 6, 

 1923. (Southeast Downs, Jebel Marra, Darfur Province.) 



Specimen Examined: The t3^pe. 



Measurements of the Type Specimen: Length of head and body 

 56; length of tail 38; length of hind foot 10; length of ear 7; condy- 

 loincisive length of the skull 16.6; breadth of braincase 7.5; least 

 interorbital breadth 3.4; length of upper toothrow 7.3. 



Remarks: This species is similar in many respects to C. pasha but is 

 darker and somewhat larger. It is possible that there exists a close 

 relationship between these two species but until additional material 

 is available it is best to consider them as distinct species.
