On a new Species of Shrew from Coret. 317 
fTab. Island of Lemnos. Type from Mudros West. 
Type. Old male. B.M. no. 17. 8. 15.3. Original 
number 6. Collected 6 April, 1917, and presented by 
Major T. S. Blackwell, R.A.M.C. 
This island mole-rat differs from S. m. hellenicus, of the 
Grecian mainland, by the coalesced roots of the molars, 
from S. m. anatolicus, of Smyrna, of which we have a certain 
number presented by Mr. Griffith Blackler, by its larger 
size and the greater complication of the sutures along the 
front edge of the frontals, and from both by its incisors 
being nearly constantly white instead of yellow. 
I may note here that the young Spalax from Stylis, 
Phthiotis, Greece, mentioned by Miller under S. grecus, 
proves, on examination of its molar roots, to be referable to 
S. monticola hellenicus. 
XXXVIII.— On a new Species of Shrew from Corea. 
By ARTHUR DE CARLE SOWERBY, F.Z.58., F.R.G.S. 
In the summer of 1913, while camped on the Upper Sungari 
in Central Manchuria, I secured specimens of shrews that 
have been referred by Mr. Gerrit 8. Miller, Jr., of the U.S. 
National Museum, to Dobson’s Croctdura lasiura from the 
Ussuri. 
Later, in 1915, while on the Lower Sungari, near its 
junction with the Amur, I secured another specimen which 
has also been referred to that species. ° 
The measurements in the flesh of these specimens are as 
follows :—

In 1905 Mr. Malcolm P. Anderson secured a large series 
of shrews in Corea, which Mr. Oldfield Thomas referred to
