 2175. Collected 20 November, 1905. Six specimens. 



C. leucodon has not been previously recorded from this 

 region. The present specimens seem to differ constantly from 

 German and Swiss examples by their longer tails and rather 

 greyer colour.

Size about as in Euroj)ean rus.inla. Fur of back about 

 5 mm. in length. General colour rather more smoky and 

 less brown than in true russuhi, but the dilference not strongly 

 marked. Under surface light greyish, passing gradually, 

 low down on the sides, into the dorsal colour. Tail com- 

 paratively long, markedly longer than in any known members

 longer tails.
