NO. 12 NEW INSECTIVORES FROM AFRICA — HELLER 13 



specimens from the Shimba Hills in the British Museum collection 

 are quite dark. The large series of specimens examined demon- 

 strate conclusively that the female is distinctly darker bellied than 

 the male, being quite ochraceous-bnff below while the male is whitish 

 or at most cream-buff. 



This large insectivore is known to the Duruma tribe as sangi. 

 They are an article of diet with these negroes who catch them in 

 snares set along their runways in the forests.
