FURTHER NEW MAMMALS FROM BRITISH 
EAST AFRICA. 
BY WILFRED H. OSGOOD. 
Continued study of the Field Museum's collection of African 
mammals, especially of the difficult Crocidure, has resulted in the 
conclusion that eleven further new species and subspecies should 
be added to the rapidly growing list of the Mammalia of British East 
Africa. With one exception, these have been compared with speci- 
mens of allied forms in the British Natural History Museum. Types 
and important specimens have been consulted also in the Academy 
of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and the United States National 
Museum at Washington. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the cour- 
tesies of the officials of these institutions.
