IV. — Some new Mammals from British East Africa. 

 By Dr. Einar Lonnbekg, F.M.Z.S. &c. 



The following new mammals collected in British East Africa 

 will be more fully described in a paper, which will shortly 

 be published, on the collections obtained in that country by 

 the Swedish Zoological Expedition (1911). In the meantime 

 the following preliniinary diagnoses are given. 



Colvbus ahyssinicus kikuyuensis, suhsp. n. 



Closely allied to Colvhus caudatas, Thomas, but smaller, 

 w-ith the white tuft of the tail shorter and less developed, 

 measuring only 44 cm. to the tips of the hair in a rather old 

 male. The black of the basal part of the tail extending over 

 21-27 cm., thus longer than in C. caudatus. The young not 

 white, as in C, caudatus, but nearly of the same colour as in 

 the adult. 



Condylo-basal length of skull in a ratiier old male 101 mm. 

 (Ill nvm. in C. caudatus) ; occipito-nasal length 91 mm. 

 (101 mn). ill C. caudatus). 



Six specimens examined.
