The measurements given on the labels are not altogether satisfactory, 
and I cannot therefore now venture to give a definite opinion as to 
whether two or only one species are represented in this series. 
201. Georycheus holosericeus , Wagn. (Text fig. 7.) 
1 juv. §, Pirie Forest (Stenning). 
This specimen is very young, judging by the fragment of the skull 
attached. The nasals are broadest rather further forward than in the 
specimens from Knysna, and more pointed at both ends ; they measure 
3 mm. at the broadest part and 1 • 7 at the tip. The following measure- 
ments of the available parts of the skull will show that it is not referable 
to the same species as a specimen from the same place mentioned here- 
after : Br. premax. 6, int. orb. br. 6*7, nasals 10* 3 x 3, diastema 9 '5, br. 
incisors 4*1. 
202. Georychus natalensis , spec. nov. (Text fig. 8.) 
Similar to G. holosericeus , but with the nasals pointed at the back, 
widest at about two-thirds of the length from the front and with the 
foremost third produced straight forward to the tip or with a very slight 
broading at the tip.
