51. Myosorex Swinny i, Chubb. 
Large series, Port St. Johns (Swinny). 
The type of this species is the smallest in the series, but the largest 
do not appear to overlap the measurements, of M. Sclateri to which this 
species is allied.

53. Pcichyura gracilis , Blainv. 
1 o, Wonderfontein (Jameson). 
1 in spirits, Krabbefontein (pres. Dr. Breyer). 
54. Grocidura Jlavescens , I. Geof. 
2, Knysna (Rex). 
55. Grocidura cinncimomea , (Lcht.). 
Very large series, Port St. Johns (Swinny). 
These specimens all lack the dull reddish orange colour on the chin 
and chest which characterises Jlavescens , and also differ in having a smaller 
skull. 
The following specimens seem also to be referable to this species : — 
1 $, Wakkerstroom ; 1 Hilton Road : 1 $ and 2 in spirits, Malvern 
(Jameson) ; and 1 Wakkerstroom (Roberts). 
56. Grocidura hirta , Ptrs. (?) 
1 Boror (Kirby and Roberts). 
57. Grocidura flavidulci , Thos. and Schw. 
1 $, Tzaneen Estate (Uhrde). 
2 in spirits, Woodbush (pres. Hon. P. A. Methuen). 
If my identification of this species is correct, it seems to me to be best 
to retain this as a distinct species on account of its slender feet and smaller 
skull.
