(Plate LIV.) 



In June and July 1896 Mr. Alexander Wbyte, the well-known 

 collector, made an expedition into Northern Nyasaland for the 

 purpose of investigating the fauna of that part of the territories 

 administered by ISir Harry Johnston. The expedition proved 

 remarkably successful, for besides the large number of specimens 

 of other groups obtained, Mr. "Whyte brought back the fine 

 collection of mammals of which the present paper gives an 

 account.
