Its first ju- venile pelage is a pure medium gray, as with C. luna, and the pale flecks described by Thomas (1904) in the darker adult coat are probably juvenile hairs not yet moulted out. At Amudat it was trapped in dry tree savanna. Crocidum denti. Fig. 55F Crocidura jacksoni denti DoUman 1915, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 8 (16): 377; between Mawambi & Ava- kubi (D. R.

Balsac & Meester (1977) included Ruwenzori area of Uganda in their account, together with records from the Congo basin and west to Cameroon.

C. denti more resembles a small C nigrofusca, rather than C. jacksoni, but its basic measurements are quite similar. At Mwel
