Kilimanjaro specimens at an altitude of 5000 feet. The label of one 

 of his female skins has written on it the following notes : "Taken, with 

 the male, from a nest containing four young ones; nest globular, about 

 5 inches in diameter, with hole in side; situated in a bush 5 feet from 

 ground. Nest made of grass and strips of banana fronds, lined with 

 fine grass." 



The four alcoholic specimens from Kilimanjaro listed by True in 

 1892 ^ can not now be found in the collection.

January 28. 



Specimens. — Four, from the following localities: 



British East Africa: Engare Ndare River, Northern Guaso 

 Nyiro, 2 (Heller) ; Jambeni Mountains, 1 in alcohol, skull removed 

 (Chanler); Tana River, 1 (Chanlor and von Hohnel). 



The dormouse described by Dollman ^ from Nyama Nyango, North- 

 ern Guaso Nyiro, as GrapTiiurus hrockmani internus, seems likely to 

 prove inseparable from Graphiurus parvus parvus. 



GRAPHIURUS PARVUS DOLLMANI Osgood. 



1910. Graphiurus parvus dollmani Osgood, Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Zool. ser., vol. 



10, No. 3, p. 15. April 7. (Ulukenia Hills, British East Africa; type 

 in Field Mus. Nat. Hist.) 



Specimens. — Three, from localities as follows: 



British East Africa : Mount Mbololo, 1 (Heller); Mount Sagalla^ 

 2 (Heller). 



These specimens have been compared with the type of dollmani, 

 lent by the authorities of the Field Museum, and seen inseparable. 

 The skulls of dollmani are larger than skulls of typical parvus. The 

 Sagalla specimens, both females, are marked on the labels as caught 

 in the mud nest of a swallow on the under side of a large rock, in roof 

 of a cave; each contained four embryos, November 18.

Specimen. — One, the type, from — 

 Lado: Rhino Camp (Loring). 



This dormouse is closely related to G. parvus and will doubtless 

 prove to be only a geographical race of that older-named form.
