IN reference to the note given in NATURE (vol. lv. p. 301) on the mammals collected in North-east Africa by Dr. Donaldson Smith, it may interest some of your readers to learn that in October 1892 Captain V. Bóttego obtained no less than eighteen specimens of that most singular rodent, Heterocephalus glaber, in one day. at the Wells of Herrer, near Archeisa, in North Somaliland. Sixteen specimens, well preserved in alcohol, were forwarded by him to Marquis Giacomo Doria, and have been distributed to various museums through the learned Director of the Museo Civico of Genoa. In his book (``Il Giuba esplorato,'' pp. 38-41, Roma, 1895) Captain Bóttego figures the Heterocephalus, and also one of their colonies of singular conical mole-hills.
