These specimens have longer tails (both absolutely 

 and proportionately to the body) than Peters' arborarins. 

 Specimens from Ruwenzori recently received by the 

 British Museum have tails as long, but the body also is 

 slightly longer. 



Smuts' dolichurus from the Cape is said to have a 

 black mark before and under the eye, and a golden tinge 

 on the belly (I cannot detect either of these characters in 

 Smuts' plate), and Peters relies on these characters to 

 distinguish dolichnrus from his arborarius. Sundevall's 

 pcedidcus is said to have a much shorter tail. None of 

 these types is available for examination by me. Mr. 

 Thomas has used dolichurus for Nyasa specimens, so, at 

 any rate for the present, these specimens must rank as 

 dolichurus. 



" This species is known to the Asenga as ' Sakasse.' "
