of colouring. I can find very little difference besides this of colouring 
between the Bezwe specimen and those recorded as Rh. swinnyi in my 
previous paper. Seeing that there is very little difference between these 
and Rh. denti except in colour, I am inclined to consider swinnyi as a 
synonym of denti , or at most a subspecies. This is supported by recorded 
occurrence of Rh. denti at Zuurbron,* on the Drakensberg, a locality 
situated about equally distant from the type localities of denti (Bechuana- 
land) and swinnyi (Port St. Johns), and the Bezwe River.

These three specimens dearly show a transition from dull white to 
orange in the colour of the fur. Correlated with this there is a difference 
in the length of the tail, seeming to show that the dull white specimen is 
the youngest and the orange coloured one the oldest. The length of the 
tail is given as 28, 19, and 7 mm. respectively, in the three specimens, 
while in two females previously recorded from Klein Letaba and Hector 
Spruit the measurements are respectively 28 and 12 -5 mm. The two last 
specimens are both grey, but that from Hector Spruit is darker and duller, 
seeming to show that it is the younger of the two. Anderson has given 
the length of the tail in the type as 25 *7 mm., and the colour as being 
“ exactly as in Rh. augur.”
