XVIII. — On a Second Collection of Mammals obtained by 

 Dr. W. J. Ansorge in Angola. By Oldfield ThoMAS 

 and R. C. Weoughton. 



In the ' Annals' for last year * an account was given of the 

 mammals obtained during 1903 in Northern Angola by 

 Dr. W. J. Ansorge, and the present paper is based on a 

 series formed by the same collector during 1904 in the central 

 part of that country. 



Dr. Ansorge was not able to devote so much attention to 

 mammals as on his previous trip, but the series he obtained 

 is still a very valuable one and adds considerably to our 

 knowledge of Angolan mammals. It consists of about 90 

 specimens belonging to 34 species, of which we have found it 

 necessary to describe 5 as new, tlie most notable being the 

 fine rodent-mole we have named Geonjchus Ansoryei.
