region on the eastern slopes of Kenia. It is thus perhaps the most common Shrew 

 in the district mentioned. 



It has also been found on Kilimanjaro, and a subspecies is described by Thomas 

 from Ruwenzori. 



Crocidura turba Dollman. 



Dollman: Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. Ser. 8 Vol. V. p. 176. 



This Shrew was collected as well on the acacia steppe south of Guaso Nyiri 

 and at Luazomela and Lekiundu rivers as on Kenia in the forest at an altitude of 

 2450 m. It is thus a rather common species. Dollman has kindly compared some 

 of my specimens »with the type specimen of G. turba and a long series of turban which 

 recently has been received in British Museum from East Africa, and he has stated 

 the correctness of my determination. 



C. turba resembles C. monax but the great number of long hair on the tail 

 of the former makes it easy to recognize from the latter, in which the tail is sal- 

 most bristlelesss according to Thomas. 



Crocidura hindei Thomas. 



Thomas: Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1904 Ser. 7 Vol. XIV p. 237. 

 A specimen of this Shrew was trapped at Juja farm ^'/i 1911. 



Crocidura hildegardese Thomas. 



, Thomas: Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1904, Ser. 7. Vol. XIV p. 240. 



A specimen of this small Shrew was caught at a native village Kazere one 

 days march from Meru boma at the base of Kenia ^^/a, and another at the village of 

 Kutu south of Embu boma ^*/i 1911. This latter place is not very far north of the 

 type locality, Fort Hall. A third specimen from Blue Post (^VOj south of Fort Hall, 

 is a little less brown, and the lateral gland is more pronounced. I felt therefore 

 rather uncertain about its identity but Mr. GtTY Dollman has kindly after com- 

 parison ascertained this.
