30. Apodemus chevriert\ M.-Ed\v. 



? . 308. Kiu-kiang-Salween divide, 28° N. 11,000'. 



$. 406, 407, 1235. Li-kiang Range, 27° 30' N. 

 10,000-12,000'. 



Tlie slioit-tailed, short-eared Apodemus with 2 — 2 = 8 

 inamniJ«. 



Tlie first locality mentioned above brings this type o£ mouse 

 within the British area, all previous records having been 

 Chinese. 



31-37. MiCROTINM. 



The considerable number of voles obtained by Mr. Forrest 

 — about 100 specimens — form the subject of a succeeding 

 paper by Mr. Martin Hinton. They appear to belong to three 

 genera and six species, of which several are new. 



38. Ochotona roylei chinensi's, Thos. 



<? . 299, 300, 328 ; ? . 325, 326, 327. Mekong-Yangtze 

 divide, 28° 28'. 12,000-14,000'. 



? . 151, 158. Mekong Valley, 28°. 11,000-12,000'. 



? . 209. Mekong-Salween divide, 28°. 14,000'. 

 A provisional determination, whicli cannot be checked 

 until specimens are obtained either of the Yunnan form in 

 winter ©r of Ta-chien-lu chinensis in summer, all Mr. Forrest's 

 specimens liaving been killed in the latter season, while the 

 tyj)e is in winter fur. An indication of a fulvous mark is, 

 however, appearing on the latter's nape, agreeing in colour 

 with the well-developed mantle of the Y'^unnan series, so that 

 I have little doubt that the determination is correct. 



39. Ochotona thibetana, M.-Edw. 



J. 1. Sung-kvvei Range, N.W. Yunnan, 26° 24' N. 

 10,000'. 



? . 172. Kiu-kiang-Salween divide, 28° N. 11,000'. 



<S. 110, 121, 141; ?. Ill, 128. Mekong-Yangtze 

 divide, 27° 30'. 11,000-13,000'. 



^.161;?. 153. Mekong Valley, 28°. 11,000-12,000'. 



? . 198, 210. Mekong-JSahveen divide, 28°. 13,500- 

 14,000'. 



These specimens have smaller bullse than the typical 

 tliibetana, and confirm my suggestion that the JSikkini form — 

 sikimaria — will probably prove to grade into that animal.
