D^gcriiition. — The principal difforent.ial character of this species is 

 that given in the diagnosis above and shown in the table of 

 measurements of the teeth p. 552 ; in other respects it is very 

 similar to E. lahintus. Kostrum of skull relatively slightly shorter ; 

 palato-rid^es (fig. 37 C, p. 51 6) quite as in labialas. Vertical fascia? 

 of mpsopatagiuin 13-19. Cohiur as /iJ. •jt'^/tZ^.-rr/J, but generally with 

 a more or less clearly-dctined large whitish abdominal patch, 

 t^exual difference in si/.e none or quite inconspicuous. 



Measurements. On pp. 544, 54(j, 548, bbi), 552. 



Specimens examined. Sixteen, in the collections of tlie I>eyden 

 (one), Berlin (eleven), and British Museums, from the following 

 localities : — 



Shoa: — Slioa, Eobb coll.: one, with skull; Farri, Eagazii cull.: one, with 

 skull. 



German East Africa: — Pangani : one; Zanzibar; two, type (with skull) of 

 species and jiaratype ; Bagauioyo : three, with skulls; Dar-es- 

 8alam : one; Gonda, Uguuda: live, skull of one; Ujiji, Tan- 

 ganyika: one, with skull; Mikindani, Lindi : one. 



Ti/pc in collection. I'aratypes were distributed by Dohson to 

 various Museums. 



Keynarks. — Thei'e can be little doubt that this is a small-toothed 

 form of E. lahiatuf. 8o far as the material goes there has been no 

 difficulty in distinguishing the two species, but it must be admitted 

 t'.hat in their extremes they come very close indeed to each othei-. 

 E. lahicdns ajipears to be more nortliern and north-western in 

 distribution, E. minor soutliern, but the two species would seem to 

 meet somewhere in Shoa.
