Distribution. — Assam, Burma, the Malay peninsula, Java, 

 Borneo and the Philippine Islands ; it probably also occurs in 

 Sumatra and other islands of the East Indies, but has only been 

 recorded from the places above mentioned. 



The unique type of Mus gliroides of Blyth has unfortunately 

 disappeared from the Museum, so that it is not possible to be 

 absolutely sure as to whether Mus peguensis is identical with it or 

 not, there seems, however, to be no reasonable doubt on the subject ; 

 there is in the. Museum a mouse from Cherrapoonjee whence the 

 type specimen originally came which entirely agrees with the des- 

 cription of Mus gliroides, and this specimen is certainly identical 

 with Mus peguensis.
