118 Mr. 0. Thomas on small Mammals 



with the especial wish to obtain a male Derby's eland for 

 the National Museum. In this latter purpose he was un- 

 successful, but he brou^^ht home a female eland, besides 

 specimens of the local buffalo, hartebeest, water-buck, roan 

 antelope, oribi, and blue-backed duiker. 



Of small mammals he obtained a considerable series, and 

 tliese prove to be of such interest as to deserve a special list, 

 in addition to the descriptions already published of Tatera 

 gamhiana, Arvicantkis linulus, and Uranomys oiveni*. 



Mr. Fenwick Owen^s collecting was mostly done in French 

 Gambia, on the upper part of the river of that name ; but 

 some of the specimens came from rather further south, in the 

 Fouta Djallon district of French Guinea — a region about 

 3000-4000 feet in altitude. More complete collections from 

 this latter region might prove of great interest. 



Mr. Owen was accompanied by Mr. G. Russell Roberts, 

 who assisted in making the collection. 



The whole series has been presented to the National 

 Museum by Mr. Owen, and forms a very valuable addition 

 to its African collections.
