 A. cmerens, firstly, by its much smaller tail-scales, and, 

 secondly, by the general bufi" coloration of the fur and absence 

 of black hairs on the claws of the hind feet. 



In addition to the type specimen, the Museum possesses 

 two other representatives of tliis species, an adult female 

 collected by Mr. Neave at Kdola in 1905, and a further

 eastern E-hodesia, west of Madona. 



*' This animal is not common, and owing to its entirely 

 nocturnal habits is very seldom seen. All the individuals I 

 have met with have been obtained from hollow trees, where it 

 seems to spend the day."
