{)($ Miller A New tfhretr from Switzerland. 



Skull and teeth. Although scarcely larger than that of tfurex minutux, 

 the skull of Crocidura mimula retains the general form characteristic of 

 C. ruxsula. The rostral portion, however, is relatively shorter and wider 

 than in the larger animal. In the type specimen the antorbital foramina 

 are larger and more conspicuous, particularly when the skull is viewed 

 from above, than in any of the specimens of C. ruszula with which I 

 have compared it. 



Teeth as in Crccidura ruxxula, except for their noticeably smaller size. 



Measurements. External measurements of type: total length, 105; 

 head and body, 72: tail vertebrae, 38; hind foot, 12 (11). 



Cranial measurements of type: greatest length (exclusive of incisors), 

 16 (21);* greatest postorbital breadth, 7.8 (10); greatest antorbital 

 breadth, o.G (7); least interorbital breadth, 3.8 (4.4): mandible, 8.4 (11): 

 entire maxillary toothrow, 7.4 (9.4); entire mandibular toothrow, 0.8 (9). 



/Specimen examined. One the type. 



Remarks. Crocidura mimula requires no special comparison with C. 

 rus.mla, as its size and the form of its skull serve to distinguish it at a 

 glance. 



*Measurements in parenthesis are those of the skull of an adult female 

 Crocidura rusxula from St. Gallen.
