124. Otomys Turneri , Wr. 
7 ad., 3 juv., Wakkerstroom (Jameson and Roberts). 
One of these was recorded by Jameson as O. Brantsi. A very old $ 
is peculiar in having the hairs on the cheeks very stiff and spine-like. 
The fur on the back of these specimens is of the same length as in the 
specimen of sloggetti from Hanover, and the only apparent difference lies 
in the length of the molar series, which is larger in turneri.

128. Otomys Anchietae , Boc. 
20, N.W. Rhodesia (Wilde). 
These specimens are all very much larger than those from South 
Africa, the skulls measuring in old $$ up to 50 mm. in length. None of 
them show the aberrant character in M 1 to which Wroughton has 
particularly drawn attention in his paper on the genus. The number of 
laminae in M 3 varies by one more or less, principally in the 
129. Otomys laminatus , Thos. and Schw. 
1 old <£, 3 very young, Port St. Johns (Swinny). 
Although the hindmost molars in the young specimens are not fully 
developed, they still clearly show that the number is more than seven. 
The very old specimen is rather whiter on the under surface of the body 
than the generality of specimens of O. irroratus.
