  The 
  Entebbe 
  specimens 
  of 
  ugandce 
  exhibit 
  a 
  considerable 
  

   degree 
  of 
  variation 
  in 
  colour, 
  as 
  do 
  a 
  similar 
  series 
  of 
  this 
  

   species 
  from 
  Mt. 
  Ruwenzori, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  evident 
  that, 
  like 
  the 
  

   smaller 
  form 
  described 
  above, 
  de 
  Winton's 
  species 
  is 
  subject 
  

   to 
  much 
  variation 
  in 
  colour. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  interesting 
  to 
  note 
  that 
  while 
  the 
  young 
  individuals 
  

   of 
  E. 
  Uganda 
  are 
  dark 
  blackish 
  in 
  colour, 
  the 
  juvenile 
  pelage 
  

   of 
  E. 
  effectus 
  is 
  ashy 
  grey.

  a 
  light 
  buffy 
  tint, 
  

   the 
  buff-coloured

  light 
  

   colour 
  of 
  the 
  ventral 
  surface.

  A 
  light 
  buffy

   of

  as
