Plate 33. 1910. Pelomys roosevelti Heller, Smithsonian Misc. Coll., vol. 54 [No. 19241, p. 1. February 28. (Nzoia River, Guas Ngishu Plateau, British East Africa; type in U. S. Nat. Mus.) 1910. Pelomys roosevelti Roosevelt, African Game Trails, Amer. ed., pp. 473, 479; London ed., pp. 485, 490. Specimens.—Eighteen, from the follow- ing localities: British East Africa: Kaimosi, 15 (Heller); Kakumega, 2 (Heller); Nzoia River, Guas Ngishu Plateau, 1 (Heller). Specimens from Kaimosi have slightly longer tails and darker colored feet than the type from Nzoia River, but the differ- ence is not great and there is only the one specimen from the type locality. In the Kaimosi series are several very young specimens. The youngest, in which the i. last molars have not yet erupted, are ^ colored above very much like the fully adult but are dark cinnamon buff below, the hairs with ground color dark gray, very different from the clear whitish belly of the adult. Older juveniles, after all the teeth are in place but quite unworn, are much duller above and are becoming more as in the older specimens below— the throat, breast, and posterior under- parts are decidedly whitish. Slightly older specimens, with the teeth showing a little wear, are very much faded out, of a dull bleached brown above, but with the entire underparts in fresh coat like that of the adults.
