 than the other N. African Elephantuli in the collection. But there is in the Tring 

 Museum a specimen from TIess, Duiraii, Atlas, which may be provisionally 

 referred to the same form, and this is coloured something like dark e.Kamples of 

 E. deaerti. 



4. Elephantulus deserti Thos. 



(J: 50 (young). Ain Sefra, 1100 mm. 



The colour of this young specimen is ipiite as in the Biskra K. </escrti, 

 different as is the altitude at which it was obtained. No doubt its colour is due 

 to the siuid-dinies near Ain Sefra, which cause it to tiave the typical desert colour 

 loniid in tlic liiskra iiuiinals.
