mandible 14*6 (15) ; maxillary tooth-row 5*6 (5'6) ; mandi- 

 bular tooth-row 5'6 (5'6). 



Remarks. — The characters of the skull on which this 

 species is based are so peculiar that it seems necessary to 

 recognize the animal as distinct. In September 1906 I 

 visited Bareges chiefly for the purpose of securing further 

 specimens of Pitymys planiceps, but though colonies of 

 P. pyrenaicus were readily found in the forest aljove the 

 town, I failed in the main object of my search. 



Pitymys 2)elaiidomu3, sp. n. 



Type. — Adult female (skin and skull), collected at Santo 

 Domingo de Silos, Province of Burgos, Spaiti (altitude 

 980 m.), October 21, 1906, by G. S. Miller. Original 

 number 7382. 



Characters. — Similar to Pitymys marice, Major, but skull 

 ■with broader, less elongate brain-case; general colour of 

 upperparts wood-brown, the sides somewhat more bufFy ; 

 feet and tail whitish. 



Measurements. — Type. Head and body 96 mm,; tail 28; 

 hind foot 14*4 ; ear from meatus 8-4. Skull : condylo- basal 

 length 22 (22) * ; zygomatic breadth 14 (13) ; occipital 

 breadth 10*6 (9"8) ; breadth of brain-case under zygomata 

 10-2 (9-6) ; occipital depth (median) 5-6 (5-0) ; palatal depth 

 6-8 (6-4); nasal G'O (6'0) ; diastema ^'^ {^ ^) ; mandible 

 14-4 (14) ; maxillary tooth-row 5-4 (5*6) ; mandibular tooth- 

 row 5-6 (.r4). 



Specimens examined. — Five, three from the type locality 

 and two from Castrillo de la Reina, Province of Burgos. 



Remarks. — At both Silos and Castrillo this animal occurs 

 in rocky ground partly overgrown with shrubs and small 

 trees. Its habits are essentially the same as those of Pitymys 

 subterraneus or P. pyrenaicus, and much less mole-like than 

 those of the meadow-haunting P. ibericus. 



Pitymys depressus^ sp. n. 



Type.— Adult female (in alcohol). B.M. no. 6. 11.4.15. 

 Collected at Rascafria, south side of Sierra de Guadarrama, 

 Province of Madrid, Spain, by M. de la Escalera. 



Characters. — A member of the Pitymys duodecimcostatus 

 groupt, related to P. lusitanicus, P. marice., and P. pelandonius, 

 but immediately recognizable by its broadened, much flattened
