388 - Mr. H. J. Carter on Deep-sea 



[In the copy of the ' Fauna of Turkestan ' translated by 

 me, I find the following short list of addenda, by Dr. N. A. 

 Severtzoff.— F. C. C] 



Mammalia. 



1. Felis [Catolynx) chaus (vel Ghaus catolynx, Pall.). 



Occurs about Seniiretchje, Issik-kul, about Hodgent, and 

 in the whole Zarevshan valley, Lower-Oxus marshes. It has 

 considerably larger feet than F. servalina. 



2. Cams aureus. 

 On the Oxus. 



3. Vesperugo noctula. 



At Cheenaz on the Syr it was caught in March 1875 ; not 

 observed before. 



4. SpermopMlus xantJioprymnuSj Benn. 



Erroneously noticed by me formerly as Sp. fulvus^ Licht., 

 which also exists in Turkestan, but only near the lower Syr. 

 Sp. xanthoprymnus was found by me near Tashkent and 

 Cheenaz, and near Samarkand by Russoff. 



5. Spe^'mophilus Eversmanm, Brdt. 



Found, in the summer of 1874, near the mountain-lake 

 Lairam-kul, north of Kulja.
