This species was described by Mr. De Winton ' from Matabili- 

 land, whence examples were sent by Mr. Selous. The present

" This differs from our common Zomba species, and throws up 

 enormous mounds of earth, larger than I have seen the others do. 



" These animals bite severely, and are generally brought in with 

 their incisors broken." — A. W. 



In some respects these animals differ from the ordinary Nyasaa 

 ii. argenieocinereiis, as Mr. Whyte has noticed, and approach the 

 East-African M. alhifrons, but « ithout further and better material 

 it would be impossible to separate them definitely,
