320 Mr. W. E. de Winton on 
A. barbarus, var. massaicus; it has nothing to do with 
A. barbarus, but is very closely related to A. pulchellus. 
12. Arvicanthis abyssinicus, Riipp. 
Six specimens of various ages. 
13. Leggada minutoides, Sm. 
One. This name is used for the smaller chestnut-brown 
form. 
14. Leggada musculoides, Temm. 
One. This name is used for the larger grey-brown form. 
The two forms seem to be found side by side in various 
parts of Africa; but we must wait for more evidence before 
positively stating their relationship or otherwise. 
XXXV.—On a Collection of Rodents from Angola. 
By W. E. pe Winton. 
TuroucH the kindness of Prof. Barboza du Bocage, of the 
Lisbon Museum, I have been entrusted with the working out 
of a number of rodents from Angola to be ultimately presented 
to the British Museum. My primary object was to endeavour 
to explain the various forms of Georychus found in this 
region, our Museum being very well supplied with forms 
from other parts of Africa. The results of my work are 
given below, and it will be seen that the Georychi were not 
the only animals of interest in the collection, a dormouse and 
a mouse being described as new. 
Graphiurus angolensis, sp. n. 
General colour drab-brown mixed with whitish, most of 
the underfur appearing to be tipped with the latter colour. 
All the underparts creamy white. Bases of all the body-fur 
above and below slate-black. Upper lips, cheeks, throat, 
hands, and feet entirely cream-white. ars sparingly clothed 
with short brown hairs. ‘Tail drab-brown, flecked with 
white, most of the hairs being tipped with white; these pale 
tips increase in length towards the distal portion, till at the 
extreme end the hairs may be entirely of the pale colour, 
forming a cream-white tag. The tail is bushy and flattened 
beneath; the hairs increase in length, graduating from the 
body to the tip. 
Mamme 2—2=8, 1 axillary, 1 behind the elbow, 1 on the 
extreme front of groin, 1 on groin.
