VI. — On Mammals from the Upper Zambezi River. 

 By E. C. Chubb. 



The Rhodesia Museum is indebted to Mr. T. N. Micklem 

 for a collection of small mammals made bj him on tlie Upper 

 Zambezi River between Sesheke and the junction of the 

 Kabompo River with the Zambezi. 



It is of interest as being the first collection of properly 

 prepared specimens from this region, and also in that it 

 contains a very distinct new species of rodent-mole, which 

 Mr. Micklem is to be congratulated upon obtaining. 



The country, except for a mile or so on either side of the 

 Zambezi, consists of thick forests alternating with large open 

 vleis, through the middle of which run streams flowing down 

 into the Zambezi.
