Zelotomys hildegardeee (Thomas), 



Thomas: Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1902, Ser. 7, Vol. IX, p. 219.

A specimen of this interesting Eat was caught at Juja farm '7i 1911. Its 

 tail is whitish almost all around. In another specimen from Ruiru river the tail is 

 greyish above. 



The species was originally described on specimens from Machakos and Kitui. 

 It is thus one of the endemic forms of East Africa s. str. 



Leggada bella Thomas. 



Thomas: Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1910, Ser. 8, Vol. V, p. 87. 

 This little Mouse was trapped at Punda Melia ^^i 1911. 



Leggada triton Thomas. 



Thomas: Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1909, Ser. 8, Vol. IV, p. 548. 



This dark little Mouse was first caught ^% in three specimens at a place called 

 Kazere situated outside the Kenia forest on partly cultivated ground, 2,125 m. above 

 the sea. Two more specimens were trapped resp. in the upper forest region of Kenia 

 at an altitude of 2,700 m., and a little lower down, or at an altitude of 2,450 m. 

 At our first camp on the way back outside the forest at a place situated in the 

 cultivated region not very far from Kutu and at an altitude of 2,000 m. four more 

 specimens were trapped. These were rather young specimens with not worn molars, 

 and the total length of their skulls was only about 21 mm. but the condylo-basal 

 length from 19,6 to 20 mm. These measurements agree better with Heller's Leggada 

 {triton] naivashoe hut I think this is dependent on the youth of the specimens. Those 

 from Kazere had worn teeth and were considerably larger with a condylobasal length 

 of 21,2 to 21,7 mm. 



Thomas compares this species especially with the western L. musculoides. 



Leggada triton murilla Thomas. 



Thomas: Ann. & Mag. Nat. 1910, Ser. 8, Vol. V, p. 91. 



A specimen caught at Blue Post Jan. 21 1911 is conspicuously paler than the 

 Pigmy Mice trapped in the Kenia forests and at higher altitudes in the cultivated 

 country so that I think it right to refer it to the subspecies murilla. The lower 

 parts of this specimen is also more purely white than corresponding parts of the forest 

 specimens. It is, however, probable that intergrading Unks may be found.
