Skin. <3 . S.E. of Lake Stephanie in Boran Galla Country, 

 21 Nov., 1899 ; 3000 feet. 



7. Macroscelides j boraxus, sp. 11. 



Rather larger than M. riifescens, to which it is most nearly 

 allied. Colour above very much as in that species, but the- back 

 rather a deeper chestnut, and the sides rather more greyish, so 

 that there is a more marked contrast between back and sides. 

 Face-markings as in the allied form. Ear-conch and the low 

 rounded metatragus as in M. rufescens. "Under surface white, more 



1 As it is from the same part of Africa, I may take this opportunity of 

 describing a new Bat from a specimen recently obtained by Mr. J. J. Harrison, 

 and presented by him to the British Museum: — 



Kerivoula iiarkisoni, sp. n. 



Most nearly allied, according to the characters used in Dobson's synoj)sis, 

 to K. lanosa A. Smith, but considerably smaller. Fur very long, soft, and 

 woolly, the hairs of the back about 9 mui. in length. Muzzle thickly hairy. 

 Back of ears hairy, except at the edges, these and the whole inner surface 

 practically naked. In shape the ears are very much as in K. lanosa ; their 

 inner margin slightly convex below, more strongly so above ; tip inconspicuous, 

 behind and below the level of the most convex point of the anterior edge ; 

 below the tip a marked concavity, after which the hinder edge is evenly 

 convex to its base. Tragus, so far as can be seen in the dried skin, very like 

 that of K. lanosa ; its basal lobe small. 



Fur of back not extending on to the wing-membranes, but the interfemoral 

 is clothed basally with scattered long hairs ; the legs are thickly clothed down 

 to the toes ; the upperside of the tail is well haired to the tip, and the inter- 

 femoral membrane has a thick fringe of hairs along its posterior edge, The 

 forearm is irregularly tufted with fine golden hairs, which are continued on 

 the thumb to the base of its claw, and again along the final edge of the second 

 digit, edge of wing-membrane, and terminal part of third digit to the extreme 

 tip of wing. 



The general colour of the back is a dull "old gold," the woolly hairs being 

 blackish basally, then dull bufl'y orange with their tips blackish, longer hairs 

 tipped with silvery yellow. The hairs on the legs, feet, tail, and calcars, like 

 those on the forearm, golden yellow, but the interfemoral fringe is a dull pale 

 brown. Belly-hairs blackish basally, dull bufl'y white terminally. 



Skull very fine and delicate, on the whole very like that of K. brunnca Dobs., 

 though the nasal notch is not so deep. 



Upper outer incisors nearly as long as the inner ones, the former with a low 

 postero-internal secondary cusp, the latter with a posterior one at about the 

 level of the tip of r. 



Forearm 31 '5 mm. Front of canine to back of m. 3 5"2.

Type. B.M. ]\o. 0.11.4.1. 21st February, 1900. Collected and presented by 

 Mr. J. J. Harrison. 



No species hitherto described can be confused with K. harrisoni. K. lanona- 

 is larger and of a different colour; K. smithl has no interfemoral fringe; 

 K. cerosa has minute outer incisors ; and K. brunnea and K. afrkana have the 

 same teeth unicuspidate, and the tragus of a different character.
