Type. Adult female skin and skull, B.M. no. 4.5.1.81, 

 presented by C. 1). Rudd and collected by C. H. B. Grant. 



This local race in colour resembles most nearly nyasce, 

 but is smaller. It differs from monticola in its darker and 

 redder coloration. 



In the Rudd Exploration Collection are three skins from 

 the Gorongoza Mountains in Portuguese East Africa, which 

 appear identical with the typical monticola of the Cape in 

 being without rufous on the flanks, greyer on the undcr-

 found intervening between the Zululand and the Nyasaland 

 forms.
