The Entebbe specimens of Uganda exhibit a considerable 

 degree of variation in colour, as do a similar series of this 

 species from Mt. Ruwenzori, and it is evident that, like the 

 smaller form described above, de Winton's species is subject 

 to much variation in colour. 



It is interesting to note that while the young individuals 

 of E. Uganda are dark blackish in colour, the juvenile pelage 

 of E. effect us is ashy grey. 



Epimys evelyni, sp. n. 



A pale greyish-yellow-coloured species, about equal in size 

 to E. ugandfP, and probably allied to same.

 foot and tail rather shorter. General colour of dorsal surface 

 pale greyish buff, tinted with brownish buff down the middle 

 of the back. Hairs of back with slate-grey ba-es, buffy 

 subterminal rings, and dark brownish tips. Flanks and 

 sides of face pale grey, washed over with a light buffy tint, 

 the buff-coloured area merging rather sharply into the light 

 colour of the ventral surface. Ears covered with minute 

 greyish hairs ; a light orange patch of hair at anterior in- 

 sertion of ear. Backs of hands and feet dirty white. 

 Ventral surface of body greyish white, the general effect 

 lighter than in E. ugandce. Hairs of belly wi;h pale grey 

 bases and white tips. A light buffy suffusion down middle 

 of belly, but by no means as marked as in the allied species.
