2. THE SPECIES OF Uravomys INHABITING NYASALAND. 
Among some mammals collected by Dr. J. M. Gericke in 
the extreme north-western portion of Nyasaland, which have 
been sent to us by Dr. Peringuey, of the South African 
Museum, for identification, are two specimens of the rare 
genus Uranomys. As was to be expected, these proved to 
belong to a new species, no member of the genus having been 
recorded hitherto from the country. After the description 
given below was written we received a specimen collected by 
Mr. R. @ Woed in Southern Nyasaland, and this in turn 
proves to be distinct from its ally in the north-west. 
Uranomys woodi, sp. n. 
A large species, most like U. ruddi in appearance, but 
rather lighter in colour.
