Q. 
Closely allied to Z#amnomys rutilans PEr., distinguished by its 
smaller size and less rufous colouring. 
General dimensions of body rather less than in 7w#/ans, tail 
shorter. 
Colour of dorsal surface more as in the East African members 
of the genus, without the rich rufous tints so conspicuous in 7##1- 
lans. Hairs of back slate-grey with vellowish buff tips; a large 
number of rather longer black hairs, with or without pale vellow 
tips, evenlv dispersed over the whole dorsal surface and flanks. 
These black hairs are much more abundant than in zwé#lans and, 
together with the paler colour of the hair-tips, give to the pelage 
a general dull appearance. Flanks slate-grev washed with vellowish 
buff, the buff-coloured tips forminz a pale vellowish line between 
the dark flanks and white ventral surface. Under surface of body 
as in 7wérlans, rather less richly tinted with buff. 
Skull smaller and slighter in build, with shorter nasals and less 
conspicuous supra-orbital ridges. 
The following are the skin and skull dimensions of no. 361 
which has been chosen as typical of this race : 
Head and body 135 mm.; tail 180; hind-foot 24; ear 16 (measur- 
ed in the flesh).
