the ventral suif.aco extends up the sides well above the 

 lateral gland (in the type-sjiecinien about 4 mm. above it). 

 Hands and feet wliite. Tail brown above, light below, short, 

 and clolhed with numerous long white bristle-hairs to tlie ti[). 



Skull smaller and more flattened than in jnclcsoni, tlie 

 rostrum shorter, but with a greater maxillary breadth. 



Type. Adult male. B.M. no. 20. 11. 3. 53. Original 

 number 217. Collected on June ]2tli, 1919, by Capt. G. 0. 

 Shortridge. 



Type-locality. N'dola, North Rhodesia, 12° 50' S., 28° 40^ E. 



Dimensions of the type : — 



Head and body 08 ram.; tail 41; hind foot 11; 

 ear 9. 



Skull: condylo-incisive lengtli 20 ; breadth of brain-case 9 ; 

 greatest maxillary breadth 7'1 ; palatilar length 7'8 ; leng^th 

 of u])per tooth-row (base of incisor to back of last molar) 8'1. 



The outstanding characteristics of this species are its very 

 light colour and the great extension of the grey of the ventral 

 surface up the sides. Perhaps the nearest apjjroach to it in 

 colour in the genus is shown by C. boydi from the Welle 

 River, a larger species. 



The resemblance externally of this species to Pachyura 

 lixa is very striking, and is an excellent example of isomor- 

 phism. Without the skull to decide the point, it would not 

 occur to a casual observer that these were not the same 

 species.
