but some are in fresh pelage and show the dark body coloration and dark 

 brownish feet characteristic of the race. The palest, most faded, specimens 

 have the feet light colored, like the coat of the body. There is the variation 

 in color usual in series of Crocidura nyansae ny ansae and C. n. kijabae; some 

 of the skins have dark colored bellies while others have not. This seems 

 to be individual variation and not a seasonal condition of pelage; the 

 variation is found in young as well as in adult examples. 

 The collectors record three pairs of inguinal mammse.

One skin and skull from Faradje and an alcoholic specimen from Ga- 

 ramba agree in all essential details with the type series of this species from 

 Rhino Camp, Lado Enclave. 



3. Crocidura lutrella Heller.

A single skin (without skull) from Faradje is evidently of this species. 

 Compared with the type series from Lado Enclave, this specimen, which is 

 in older pelage, has a more grayish, less buffy belly. 



4. Crocidura turba nilotica Heller.

 December 23. (Rhino Camp, Lado.) 



Three specimens, including two in alcohol, from Faradje are typical of 

 this form. A single alcoholic specimen from Nala, from which the skull has 

 been removed, is evidently of the same subspecies. It is browner than 

 usual for nilotica, but is the only July specimen seen. 



5. Crocidura caliginea sp. now
