 this respect the conditions usual 

 in GerhiUus or in Taterillus.

SjJecimens. — Forty-nine, 

 from localities as follows: 



British East Africa : Lake 

 Naivasha, 43, includini>: 10 in 

 alcohol (Loring, Mearns) ; Nai- 

 vasha Station, 6 (Loring) . 



On the sandy desert flats on the 

 southvvTest side of Lake Naivasha they 

 [D. hanvoodi] were abundant. The 

 holes running obliquely into the 

 ground were sometimes blocked with 

 sand from the inside. On the opposite 

 side of the lake there was less sand,, 

 and here the gerbilles were found only 

 in spots. In sand alone the burrows 

 resembled those described, but where 

 the ground was hard they entered 

 almost perpendicular and were never 

 blocked. Often seed pods and tiny 

 cockle burrs were strewn about the 

 entrances.'
