Screen washing of a relatively small sample of sediment from the Bukwa locality, Uganda, has yielded two taxa of thryonomyoids and an ochotonid. The number of Bukwa rodent specimens described here is admittedly small. However, this collection, especially in combination with the Bukwa rodents illustrated by Lavocat (1973), is important in demonstrating the potential of this site for increasing our knowledge of the rare smaller sized rodents in the early Miocene East African fauna. Although ochotonids are known from early Miocene deposits elsewhere in Africa, this is the first published description of a specimen from Uganda.
