7. Lycaon pictus, Temm. 



a. Skull. Maddo Erelle 10 Feb. 1896. 



b. Skull, liissan (iurracia 27 Mar. 1896. 



8. Gerbillus ruberrimus, Rhoads. 



a-d. Lugh (Capt. U. Ferrandi). 



This Gerbillo is that which in the previous list I referred to 

 G. pusillus, Peters , to which it is undoubtedly nearly allied.

 certainly pertinent. 



1). Otomys jacksoni, Thos. 



a. Between Badditu and Dime. 



Only hitherto recorded from .Mount Elgon , whore it was 

 discovered by Mr. F. .J. Jackson. 



10. Dendromys, sp. 



a. Between Badditu and Dime. 



In too bad a condition for determination. Perhaps one of 

 Heuglin's species. 



11. Lophuromys flavo-punctatus, Thos. 



a. Young. Between Badditu and Dime. 



The typical locality of this species is Shoa. 



12. Acomys cinerascens, Heugl. (?). 



a. Between Badditu and Dime. 



This specimen has lost its tail , thus adding to the difficulty 

 always present in determining specimens from Heuglin's mise-

 hind-foot 14.9 ; ear 13.5. 



13. Mus (Leggada), sp. 



a. Between Badditu and Dime. 



Too young and too imperfect for certain determination. Its 

 dusky belly, if not due to youth, shows that it is not the I.oij-
