It is in a way a connecting link between C. doriana Dobson of Abys- 

 sinia and 0. nyansse of Uganda, and may prove to intergrade with 

 both. From sururx of the western side of the Nile tliis species 

 may readily be distinguished by its larger size and paler coloration.

This shrew is a member of the nyansse group and is chiefly distin- 

 guished from C. daplmia of the cast side of the Nile by its smaller 

 size and darker, richer coloration. It is apparently confined to the 

 western side of the Nile. The specimen from Gondokoro, which was 

 placed with sururse by Heller at the time of his pubhcation of the 

 species, has since become the type-specimen of C. dapJinia. 



For measurements of specimens of C. dapTinia and 0. sururse, see 

 table, page 45.

Specimens. — Three, from locahties as follows: 



British East Africa: Juja Farm, 2, including one in alcohol 

 (Loring); LTlukenia Hills, 1 (Loriiig). 



The Ulukenia HiUs specimen, an adult male, shows both new and 

 old pelages in about equal areas; one specimen from Juja Farm is 

 immature and is much darker in color, above and below. The Cro- 

 cidura "JisTieri" listed in Appendix B of Roosevelt's African Game 

 •Trails refers in part to this species and partly to 0. jacJcsoni Thomas. 

 There is no specunen of C.fiscneri in the collection.

This species is related to Crocidura parvipes Osgood from Voi, 

 British East Africa, and to C. p. nisa Holhster from Kibabe, Kisumu, 

 and differs from them chiefly in its paler color. I beheve that aU
