REMARKS
Another gerbil, Taterillus gracilis (Thomas, 1922) was found by Heim de Balsac & Lamotte (1958) in pellets of the owl Tyto alba at Gouécké on the Guinean side of Mount Nimba. It was not reported by Coe (1975), Misonne & Verschuren (1976) or Gautun et al. (1986), from the Liberian side. The species is widely distributed in West African savannas ( Monadjem et al. 2015). We did not record the species in any of our surveys and were unable to localize the specimens collected by Heim de Balsac & Lamotte (1958) in MNHN. Hence, we consider the presence of this species on Mount Nimba doubtful.
