THE MAMMALS OF EGYPT. 
In response to my request Professor Giglioli, of Florence, has been good enough to 
summarize thus Prof. Sordelli’s conclusions “ One specimen of Spalax, studied and 
referred to S. typJilus by Professor Cornalia, and considered S. cegyptiacus, Nehring, by 
Prof. Sordelli, exists (preserved in alcohol) in the Museo Civico at Milan, and it is the 
specimen collected by Signor Haimann at Ras-el-Ferg, in Cyrenaica (Tripoli), in or 
about 1882. Haimann thought he had got a Mole ! Prof. Cornalia, who gave a list 
of the animals collected (printed in Haimann’s ‘ Cirenaica,’ p. 138, Poma, 1882), 
found that the supposed Mole was a Spalax, and said so in that list.”— G. S. A.]
