CROCIDURA LITTORALIS Heller. 



Plate 10, figs. 7, 8. 



1910. Crocidura Mttoralis Heller, Smithsonian Misc. Coll., vol.56, No. 15, p. 5. 

 December 23. (Butiaba, Uganda: type in U. S. Nat. Mus.) 



Specimen. — One, the type: 



Uganda: Butiaba (Loring). 



The single specimen of this form examined indicates a shrew 

 very closely related to Crocidura maurisca. The few trifling differ- 

 ences between the two make it seem probable that they intergrade. 

 Larger series may even prove the two indistinguishable. No speci- 

 men in our small series of maurisca, however, is quite so large or so 

 riclily colored as is the type of lUtoralis. 



For measurements see table, page 69.
