1890, (Botanic Gardens), 



This interesting spiny rat wasfirst obtained in Demerara 

 and the present is only its second known occurrence. 



39. ECHIMYS, sp. 



De Verteuil mentions two species of spiny-rat, E. chry- 

 suRUs and E. rufus, but he does not give enough particulars 

 about them to enable me to determine which species of Echimts 

 are really referred to, and whether there are really more than 

 one in the island. Specimens of all these spiny-rats are urgently 

 needed.

A young specimen apparently belonging to Cariacus

 the species could be certainly determined.
