Abstract
IN an earlier communication1 I reported the occurrence of what appeared to be an albino specimen of the above species of mole-rat. I am grateful to Miss D. Watson for a further and similar example, collected on November 12, 1958, at a point within a few hundred yards of where the first animal was taken.
