rather low, and frequents in considerable numbers the neigh- 
bourhood of cowsheds for the insects which abound over manure-

Diurnal. It lives under boulders on granite kopjes or among 
the heaps of large stones which frequently occur on the granite 
formation. Its food consists of various kinds of insects—the 
stomach of one that I found was full of leaf-cntting ants. 
Though shy, venturing only with great caution away from its 
retreat, and returning at the slightest approach of danger, it is 
also inquisitive, and will sit under the ledge of a rock eyeing one 
with curiosity and apparent unconcern for its safety. 
Average measurements, taken in the flesh, of the three Silozi

This species appears to be confined to the schist formation, and 
its colour harmonizes well with the red soil. Like the former 
species, it lives among heaps of stones. The example killed on 
5th September contained one well-developed fcetus. Two were 
shot, while the third was caught in a trap baited with fish. 
Average measurements, taken in the flesh, of the three speci- 
mens :—Head and body 108 mm.; tail 104; hind foot 29; ear 20.
