Genus MICROMYS Dehne 



MICROMYS MINUTUS PYGMAEUS (Milne-Edwards) 

 Mus pygmaeus Milne-Edwaeds, Rech. Mamm., 1874, p. 291 (Szechwan, China). 



Specimens. — Five: Yochow, Himan, 3; and Nanking, Kiangsu, 2. 



The Hunan examples are very ochraceous — especially one of them — 

 but I have in mind the ochraceous tones assumed by certain American 

 Dipodomys living on particular types of alkali soil and prefer to 

 call these specimens as above until more material i^ available.

VANDELEURIA OLERACEA (Bennett) 



Mus oleracea Bennett, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1832, p. 121 (Dukhun, 

 India).

Genus ZAPUS Coues 



ZAPUS SETCHUANUS VICINUS Thomas

 entirely white but the tail of neither is black above to the tip.
