Grammomys gigas (Dollman, 1911) . Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 7:527.

TYPE LOCALITY: Kenya, Mt Kenya, Solai, 9000 ft .

DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the vicinity of Mt Kenya.

COMMENTS: Recorded only by the holotype. Recognized as a species in most lists (Allen, 1939; Ellerman, 1941). Hutterer and Dieterlen (1984) insisted the species has to be recognized because of its large teeth, an opinion we share based on our study of the holotype; but the possibility that it may simply be a large individual of G. ibeanus is a hypothesis that deserves testing.
