Separation of the western and central (Mabira) populations probably reflects Rhynchocyon\ depen- dance on specialized forest habitats that have long been eliminated in the intervening landscapes. Some natural history of the species in Uganda is found in Pitman (1942), Brown (1964), Kingdon (1974). Sev- eral specimen lab

Hopkins & Rothschild (1956) described a flea species from Mabira on this elephant-shrew. Elephantulus rufescens dundasi. Fig. 72A, PI. 6 Macroscelides rufescens Peters 1878, Monatsber. Kai- serl.

Elephantulus dundasi DoUman 1910,7\nn. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 8 (5): 95; "Harich near Lake Baringo" (Kenya, probably Marich Pass r32'N 35°27'E). Elephantidus rufescens hoogstraali Setzer 1956, Proc. Nd. Mus. 106, p. 456; Ikoto (Sudan 4°5'N 33°4'E). Range. First published report of this species in Ugan- da was Thomas (1902) without locality. Although somewhat like E. fuscipes and E. brachyrhynchus, Ele- phantulus rufescens is paler and grayer brown above than these, with a conspicuous dark mark behind the 104.
