 Mr. Angel Cabrera.

Type.— Adult male (in spirit). B.M. no. 6. 11. 4. 4.

 araneus, the condylo- basal length of skull only about 17\5 mm., 

 upper tooth-row about 7*5 mm. ; palate wide in front as in 

 S. araneus f retalis, but anterior teeth not enlarged. 



Measurements. — Type (adult male) and an older male, also 

 from La Granja. Head and body 62 and 66 mm. ; tail 36 

 and 37; hind foot 11*6 and 11*6; ear from meatus 6'6 and 7 ;

 interest, as there has hitherto been no authentic record of the 

 occurrence of a member of the genus Sorex in the Iberian 

 Peninsula.
