On a new Species of SJirew from Core:t. 317 



ITab. Island of Lemnos. Tvpe 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. helle7iicus, of the 

 Grecian mainland, by the coalesced roots of the molars, 

 from S. 7)1. anatoUcuSjOi 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. 



1 may note here that the young Spalax from Stylis, 

 Phthiotis, Greece, mentioned by Miller under S. grcBCUs, 

 proves, on examination of its molar roots, to be referable to 

 S. monticola hellenicus.

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.

In 1905 Mr. Malcolm P. Anderson secured a large series 

 of shrews in Corea, which Mr. Oldfield Thomas referred to
