( 1885 ) . Jahrbuch der Hamburgischen Wissenschaftlichen Anstalten, 2 : 34 [ 31–46 ]. Valid name: Crocidura fischeri Pagenstecher, 1885 Holotype : ZMB 98251, male, mounted skin (with a skull imitation inside), skull apparently lost. Collected by G.A. Fischer from “Nguruman, Massai-Land” [ Kenya ] in 1883. Comments: The type , formerly in the Hamburg Museum, was believed to be lost (Heim de Balsac & Meester 1977) but was rediscovered in the Berlin collection in 1983 (Hutterer 1986). The currently-missing skull had been figured by Pagenstecher (1885); how the skin was transferred to Berlin remains unknown.
