This animal is of about the same size in head and body- 

 length as G. Hindei, but has a considerably shorter and 

 much darker tail. When the two are placed side by side 

 G. Hindei appears like a grey animal in comparison. The 

 ears of the present form are about one third larger both in 

 length and width. In their dried and shrunken state they 

 measure 31 mm. in length and 27 mm. wide, while those of 

 G. Hindei are 24 mm. by 22 mm. respectively. There is 

 such a vast difference in the size of the skulls and teeth that 

 they hardly admit of comparison. In colour G. zuluensis is 

 much like G. crassicaudatus , but has a much smaller skull, it 

 being midway between G. crassicaudatus and G. Hindei^ 

 with all the differences such a disparity of size would create. 



Type locality. Kitui, Athi River, British East Africa. 

 Altitude 3500 feet. 



Gen. char. Size large, colour pale ; ear small ; tail very 

 long. Smaller in total length than either G. crassicaudatus 

 or G. Garnetti. 



Colour. Head and upperparts pale wood-brown, washed 

 on head and dorsal region with darker brown ; arms and 

 hands like head ; outer side of legs isabella-colour ; feet dark
