How near it gets to the coast is not certain, as, though we 

 have two specimens marked Berbera, these may have been 

 brought from some little way inland. 



Of the tiue P. brucei somalica we have the type from 

 Berbera (Lort Phillips), one specimen fiom Gerbatir {Menges), 

 and another from Bijo, Eastern Abyssinia (Degen). 



The following animal, similar in size but different in 

 colour, may be considered as a subspecies of P. pumila. 



Procavia pumila rudolfi, subsp. n. 



Like true P. pumila in essential characters and its very 

 small size, but darker in colour and with shorter fur. 



Fur short, close and crisp ; hairs of back only about 10- 

 12 mm. in length. General colour above a dull brownish 

 isabella, the hairs brown for four-fifths their length and with 

 dull buffy (instead of whitish) subterminal rings. Dark 

 bristle-spots unusually numerous, though not conspicuous, 

 occurring all over the body and even on the belly. Under 

 surface whitish, the hairs pale brown basally. Crown like 

 back. Cheeks grizzled grey, with whitish supraorbital spots. 

 Ears whitish, with small whitish patches behind them ; in 

 the single specimen the ears themselves seem unusually small, 

 but I suspect they are abnormally contracted. Hairs of 

 dorsal spot pale buffy. 



Skull as in true pumila. 



Dimensions of the type : — 



Head and body 340 mm. ; hind foot 51 ; ear 23. 



Skull: basal length 57 ; condylo-basal length 61 ; greatest 

 breadth 36 ; upper tooth-row from front of p 1 to back of 

 m? 23-5. 



Hub. Lake Rudolf, north end. Alt. 2000'. 



Type. Immature male (Stage V.). B.M. no. 6. 11. 1. 50*. 

 Original number 127. Collected 7th August, 1905, by 

 Ph. Zaphiro, and presented by W. N. McMillan, Esq.

Cercopithecus kolbi nubilus, subsp. n. 

 Allied to Cercopithecus kolbi, Ncum., but rather smaller, 

 much duller in colour on the back, and with a light greyish 

 white under surface.
