. Capreolus caprea, Gray. RoE DEER. 
Fairly common in all the wooded districts, but said to be 
scarce in Dundonnell and Fisherfield. Average number at 
Applecross about 80. 
Mus sylvaticus, Zinn. LONG-TAILED FIELD MOUSE. 
Generally distributed, and abundant in all suitable 
localities. 
Mus musculus, Zinn. Housk MOvusE. 
Universally distributed, and abundant wherever there are 
houses. 
Mus decumanus, Pallas. Brown Rat. 
Abundant everywhere. Found among the rocks on the 
sea-shore, and occurs on Inverbain Island in Loch Torridon, 
and on one, if not more, of the Summer Isles. 
Arvicola amphibia (Zinn.). WATER VOLE. 
Generally present, and abundant on the margins of streams 
and lochs suited to its habits. The melanic variety, as is 
usual throughout the Highlands, is the characteristic form ; 
and indeed the ordinary brown race is regarded as only of 
casual occurrence, and is not even known in Dundonnell and 
Applecross, where the black variety is very common. 
Arvicola agrestis, De Selys. FIELD VOLE. 
Generally distributed, and plentiful among the rough 
grass on the moorlands and hillsides. A vole, probably of 
this species, was observed on the summit of Ben Bhan, at an 
elevation of 2750 feet, in June 1892. 
Arvicola glareolus (Schreb.). BANK VOLE. 
A fine male specimen was received by Messrs Macleay of 
Inverness from Sir John Fowler of Braemore in April 1894, 
and was examined by us while in the flesh. This occurrence 
of A. glareolus at Braemore is believed to be the most 
northerly record for this species in Britain.
