CROCIDURA MIMULA Miller. 

 (Synonymy under subspecies.) 



Geographical distribution. — Central Europe from north- 

 western Spain through France, Switzerland, central Germany 

 and northern Hungary to Roumania and Bulgaria, south into 

 Italy and Greece. 



Diagnosis. — Size less than in Crocidura russtda and C. leucodon 

 (hind foot, 10 to 12 mm. ; condylobasal length of skull, 16 to 

 17 "6 mm.) ; skull and teeth resembling those of C. leucodon, the 

 brain-case nearly as much depressed, its height seldom more than 

 half width, the third unicuspid similarly low as compared with 

 small anterior cusp of large premolar ; colour not very different 

 from that of C. aranea, the upper and lower surfaces of body not 

 strongly contrasted, and no line of demarcation along sides. 



Colour. — ^Upper parts varying from a dull russet tinged with 

 sepia to a dark hair-brown with a tinge of drab, the hairs with 

 metallic gloss and silvery reflections ; underparts varying from 

 dull ochraceous-buff to greyish cream-buff", never sharply defined 

 from colour of back and sides. Feet butty whitish, usually with 

 some dark clouding. Tail greyish or brow^nish, very obscurely 

 bicolor. 



Skull and teeth. — Except for their noticeably smaller size the 

 skull and teeth closely resemble those of Crocidura leucodon, 

 though the brain-case is less constantly flattened, sometimes 

 assuming a form essentially like that in C. ritssida. Plate forming
