Specimens examined. Eight (seven skulls), in the collections of 

 tiie Berlin and British Museums, viz. tivo from " Benguela," col- 

 lected by Monteiro, and three stated to be from l)amaralaiid 

 (Swakopmund, mounted dealer's specimens without collector's 

 name). 



Type ill collection. 



Remarks. — Though in all cranial characters very similar to 

 A', 'jatnbianvs and strikingly different from E. ivahlbcr(/i, this species 

 is in the arrangement of the palate-ridges somewhat intermediate 

 between the ivahlherr/i and gamhiunus groups. On comparison of 

 tig. 37 B with 37 A, C, and D, it will be seen that the fourth ridge 

 is more similar in position to that of E. vahllerrji than to that of 

 •jambianus and minor, but the fifth ridge is postdental as in the two 

 latter species (though situated more closely behind the tooth-rows 

 than in i/ambianys), not interdental as in ivaJiUierqi. For practical 

 reasons it has been convenient to catalogue E. an'jolens'is and 

 jtoiisargnesi immediately after that species (tj(nnbiairus) with which 

 they closely agree in their cranial characters, but it is possible that, 

 when belter known, they will find their proper place between the 

 waldbergi and (jambianus groups.

Diagnosis. — Closely allied to E. angolensis, but larger. Mea- 

 surements of the type, an adult female : skull, total length 55-5, 

 mandible 43-8, c-m' 19--?, forearm 91 ram. Hub. Thus far only 

 known from the upper Shari Hiver.

J'l/pe, in the Paris ^Museum, a $ ad. skin, skull extracted in 

 ]9(i9 ; skin in bad condition, .skull nearly complete, but soft palate 

 destroyed. Type locality, " la tirande Brousse, entre Yobanda et 

 Mpoko," about 7° N., 20^ 15' E. From the elevations produced by 

 the ridges on the Ijonypalate it is evident that the arrangement ofthe 

 ridges has been i)racticaliy the same as in E. angu]eu.si.<i. Prol)ablv 

 a distinct species, the other altcrriative being that it is a very large 

 female of E. angolensis, but the discrepancy in si/e would seem to 

 be rather too great. A direct comparison of the type with adult 

 females of angolensis has not been possible.
