Skull (braincase broken): maxillary breadth, 9.4; palatal length, 12.8; length of mandible, 15.5; upper tooth row, entire, 13.6. Remarks.--This new shrew is probably a connecting link between Crocidura nyansa Neumann and C. doriana Dobson. It is the Annals and Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 8, Vol. 15, pp. 508-527, May; pp. 562-575, June. 1915; Vol. 16, pp. 66-80, July; pp. 124-146, August; pp. 357-380, October; pp. 506-514, December, 1915; and Vol. 17, pp. 188-209, February, 1916. Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Vol. 66, No. 8 species referred by Dollman to C. sururce Heller, of Lado, but it is quite a different form of the same group, larger and lighter colored. The Nile is apparently a barrier between these two forms and the specimens from Wadelai and Mongalla mentioned by Dollman under sururce seem to represent this new species. Dollman mentions a very pale colored example of the C. nyansce group from Unyoro as in some ways intermediate between nyansce and the specimens from east of the Nile which he referred to sururce. Two similar specimens from Unyoro (Hoima and Butiaba) in our collection indicate the strong probability of direct intergradation between these forms. CROCIDURA PARVIPES NISA, subsp. nov.
