Tyjie Jocalitij. — Cintra, Portugal. 



Geographical distribution. — Known only from the vicinity of 

 the type locality. 



Diagnosis. — General colour of upper parts brownish grey 

 with a decided tinge of russet. 



Colour. — Upper parts a light yellowish wood-brown with an 

 evident russet tinge, the sides lighter and more huffy, the longer 

 dark hairs producing an evident though not very conspicuous 

 effect of " lining." A narrow clear buffy area along sides and 

 accentuating line of demarcation, this continued forward over 

 cheek but not surrounding eye. Underparts light cream-bufF, 

 the slate-grey bases of the hairs showing through at surface. 

 Feet buffy white or pale cream-bufF. Tail obscurely bicolor, buffy 

 whitish below, dark brown above, the dark area much wider than 

 in the Spanish form and essentially as in Apodemus sylcatieus.

 60; hind foot, 16*2; ear, 13. Average and extremes of six 

 adults from the vicinity of Cintra: head and body, 75 '5 (74-
