Type. — Adult female (skin and skull), No. 104,257, United States 

 National Museum. Collected on Domel Island, Mergui Archipelago, 

 February 24, 1900, by Dr. W. L. Abbott. Original number, 320. 



Characters. — Similar to Mus casensis, but ground color above not 

 as bright, and throat band less distinct. 



Color. — As in Mus casensis the ground color above is a yellowish 

 ochraceous-buff, but it is so much lighter than in the related form 

 that the difference is readily noticeable when series are compared. 

 Underparts as in Mus casensis, except that the throat band is a dull, 

 light ochraceous-buff, which produces no strong contrast with the 

 surrounding parts. 



Measurements. — Measurements of type: total length, 350; head 

 and body, 200; tail vertebrae, 150; hind foot, 40 (38) ; skull, greatest 

 length, 49. 



Specimens examined. — Seven (one extra skull), all from Domel

 somewhat resembling Mus eatellifer of Pulo Mansalar, but size 

 greater, tail relatively longer, and collar obsolete or absent. 



Color. — Type : back and sides ochraceous, the former heavily over- 

 laid with blackish horn-color, the latter nearly clear. The ochra- 

 ceous area widens considerably at shoulder and extends over outer 

 surface of legs to feet, and also across rump. On hind legs it is 

 darkened by a brownish wash. Top of head like back. Cheeks dirty 

 brownish buff. Feet whitish, shaded with dark brown. Tail dis- 

 tinctly but not conspicuously bicolor to tip, blackish above, whitish 

 below. Underparts and inner surface of legs pale cream-buff.
