496 Mr. G. E. Dobson on new Species 0 / Crocidura. 
(without claws) 10, pes (without claws) 17; skull, total 
length between perpendiculars 27, occipital crest to anterior 
extremity of premaxilla 24, greatest width of skull 11^, 
length of upper tooth-row 13^, mandibular condyle to anterior 
extremity of first lower incisor 19, length of lower tooth- 
row 12^. 
Hab. Western Africa (the Gaboon). 
Type no. 5552 in the collection of the Berlin Museum. 
I name this species in memory of the late Prof. W. C. H. 
Peters, Director of the Zoological Museum at Berlin. 
Crocidura Marten six. 
About the size of (7. sericea , but differing from that species 
in the colour of the far and in the form of the teeth. Fur 
dark brown, with shining extremities, on the lower surface 
similar with greyish tips, on the whole resembling the fur of 
C. cequatorialis ; tail thinly covered with short brown hairs 
above intermixed with long while ones, beneath whitish, with 
very short brown hairs; ear-conch clothed with very short 
fur, except where a few moderately long hairs spring from 
the margin of the upper internal fold ; manus and pes clothed 
with short pale yellow-brown fur. The lateral gland is of 
moderate size and in the usual position. The first upper 
incisor has a much shorter anterior cusp than in (7. sericea , 
and the other teeth are quite differently shaped to those of 
that species, as may be seen by comparing 4 Monograph of 
the Insectivora,’ pt. iii. fasc. 1, pi. xxviii. fig. 15, with 
pi. xxvii. fig. 5. The anterior maxillary tooth (penultimate 
premolar) is somewhat larger in cross section at the base than 
the third upper incisor, but it scarcely equals it in vertical 
extent, its cusp considerably exceeds the anterior basal cusp 
of the last premolar, its posterior margin is convex and close 
to the last premolar. The posterior basal cusp of the first 
incisor is rather small, and there is a small internal basal 
process. 
Length (of an adult male specimen preserved in alcohol) : 
head and body 75 milliin., tail 58, ear 9, elbow to end of 
middle digit (without claw) 18, manus 7, pes 13, distance of 
summit of cusp of first incisor from that of last premolar 5. 
Hab. Cape of Good Hope. Type no. 5588, preserved in 
the collection of the Zoological Museum at Berlin. 
I name this species in honour of Prof. E. von Martens, of 
the Berlin Museum. 
Crocidura pilosa. 
About the size of C.fumigata or very slightly larger. The 
body is densely clothed with rather long fur, dark red-brown
