This Collection, made bv Mr. J. M. D. Mackenzie, I.F.S., repre- 

 sents the fauna of the Pegn Forest Division (except for No. 663, 

 Ca'pricornis mmatrensis mihie-edivardsi, which is from close by), 

 not the Pegu civil district. This area is peculiarly full of species 

 made by Blyth on specimens from the collections of Phayre, Berd-

 welcome, and it would be especially interesting to examine series ot 

 Scotoiohilas fulvidus, Ili/lomi/s per/ttensis, Mus robustulus (Eathis), 

 M. con color (Battus), M. badiu'i (Vaoideleurici) , M. peguensis {Chiro- 

 jjodomys), Hajyalomys loiujicaudatus, and. Lepus ijecjvensis from this, 

 the type, locality. Very interesting meanwhile are the series of 

 Tupaia belanr/eri, Tomeuies pyrierythrus, Menetes herdmorei and 31'us 

 nitid'alus, which are topotypes of Blyth's species. 



The collection contains 237 specimens belonging to 29 species 

 and subspecies in 28 genera. Tomeutes piygerythrus has been obtain-
