340 MAMMALIA OF INDIA. 
No. 371. MUS FULVIDIVENTRIS. 
Hasitat.—Ceylon, Trincomalee. 
DESCRIPTION.—This is a small mouse very like Mus cervicolor, or 
perhaps JZ. ¢erricolor, which it more nearly approaches in size. Kellaart 
in his ‘ Prodromus,’ calls it cervicolor, but Blyth afterwards separated it 
under the name given above, though after all I think he was doubtful 
whether it ought to have been so distinguished. ‘The fur is long, soft, 
and glossy, fulvous fawn brown above, paler below ; feet dingy grey.
