Typical locality Ndi, near A'oi, British East Africa. 



Type in U. S. National Museum. 



Very similar to, but larger than, typical race, equalling 

 in this respect hindei, from which it differs by its lighter 

 colour ; the back being ochre-tawny, passing into buff on 

 flanks, and into white l)eueath. A vermiculation on back 

 produced by dusky rings on the hairs. 



No specimen in the collection has been definitely referred 

 to this race.
