804 MH. W. B. DB WINTON ON SOME UODBNTS [Nov. 17, 



length of upper molar series 4-8 ; diastema 7 ; mandible, height at 

 coronoid 9 ; tips of incisors to condyle 18. 



Dorsal stripes arranged as in A. pumilio, Sparrm., but all the 

 stripes more clearly defined ; the general colour darker and more 

 dusky above and below. A dark stripe commences between the 

 eyes ; immediately behind the ears it widens out and branches 

 into two stripes, which join again just above the base of the tail ; 

 the median space from the neck to near the tail is more rufous 

 than the body-colour ; outside the two dorsal black stripes, from 

 the neck to the rump, are two pale buff stripes, and outside these 

 again two black stripes commencing at the back of the ears and 

 running to the base of the tail ; all the stripes are subequal in 

 width ; outside these stripes the fur is a dark rich mixture of red- 

 brown and black, the colour gradually fading to the paler under- 

 side, which is dusky, strongly washed with orange ; the feet share 

 the general much darker grizzled colour as compared with A. pumilio 

 tijpicus. 



By the measurements it will be seen that this species is consider- 

 ably smaller than its Cape ally, and of about the same size as the 

 brightly-coloured A. pumilio diminutus,'i\ios., of British E.Africa.

Collector's measurements, taken in the flesh, of type 95.11.3.14 

 in Brit. Mus. :— Head and body 157 mm. ; tail 146 ; hind foot 32 ; 

 ear 21. 



Skull : greatest length 37 mm. ; breadth 20-2 ; basal length 35 ; 

 henselion to back of palate 20 ; palate to foramen mag. 13 ; length 

 of upper molar series 7*3 ; diastema 12-2 ; mandible, height at 

 coronoid 14 ; incisor-tips to condyle 27. 



Size and general characters as in the type species, but differing 

 in colour, being of a uniform sooty black, only slightly grizzled 

 with yellow. Upper incisors deep red-orange ; lower incisors 

 brownish honey-colour. 



There is considerable difference in the ages of these three speci- 

 mens, the female being evidently very old, but all agree most 

 perfectly in colour, and there can be no doubt this is a well-marked 

 geographical race and must be distinguished by name. •
