ApriL, 1910. New East ArricaNn MAMMALS — OsGoop. 19 
Measurements. Type and one topotype, respectively: Total 
length 136, 153; head and body go, 116; tail vertebre 46, 37; hind 
foot 14.5, 14. Skull of type: Greatest length 24.2; width of brain- 
case 9.7; maxillary width 8.2; length of toothrow 11; i' to pm‘ 5.7: 
alveolar length pm‘ 2.3; breadth m' 3.1; length molariform series 5.9. 
Remarks. During a fairly critical examination of all the Croci- 
dure in the British Natural History Museum, no species has been 
found having any close relationship to the one here described. Its 
very short tail combined with its sharply contrasted slaty and white 
coloration distinguish it externally and its narrow skull and heavy 
dentition characterize it otherwise. 
Crocidura parvipes sp. noy. 
Type from Voi, British East Africa. No. 16890 Field Museum of 
Natural History. Adult male. Collected April 18, 1906, by E. Heller. 
Characters. Size medium; hind foot and tail very short, the latter 
less than half the length of the head and body. Underparts brownish 
fawn color slightly broken with a fine speckling of paler approaching 
drab gray, about the same color as pale examples of C. jacksoni; 
underparts white tinged with creamy, the bases of the hairs pale slate 
gray; line of demarcation between upper- and underparts sharp, 
passing along the side of the face just below the eye through the 
ear (the upper part of the ear thus being brownish and the lower 
whitish) and along the sides above the foreleg to the thigh; feet and 
legs whitish; tail broadly whitish below, brownish above. Skull 
about the size of that of C. jacksoni but slightly shorter and broader 
with the teeth slightly shorter and broader and more crowded; 
third unicuspid slightly larger than second but appearing smaller in 
lateral view since its posterior third is hidden by the anterior cusp of 
pm‘, the next tooth. 
Measurements. Type: Total length 122; head and body 84; 
tail vertebre 38; hind foot 11.5. Skull of type: Greatest length 
20.7; breadth of braincase 9.5; maxillary breadth 7.1; length of 
upper toothrow 8.7; i' to pm‘ 4.2; length of molariform series 4.75; 
width m!' 2.35. 
Remarks. The coloration and proportions of this species suggest 
a possible relationship with Crocidura bicolor as represented by speci- 
mens from Caconda, Angola. But C. bicolor is a much smaller species 
with a relatively longer tail and decidedly smaller skull.
