The large series of this species obtained by Signor Fea are 
singularly uniform in character, no appreciable differences be- 
tween the specimens being observable. It is evidently both a 
highland and a lowland form as it is found both on the Kakhyen 
Hills and at Bhamò. At this latter place it must be exceedingly 
common, as Signor Fea obtained a very large number there, 
where, he says, they are found in the houses.

10 specimens, Yado, Carin Hills.

All these specimens have spiny fur. The number of the mam- 
mae, now recorded for the first time, shows that the species 
is allied to the Mus musculus group of mice; although it ap- 
pears to be quite distinct from any of them. The characters of 
the zygoma-root, and of the hind-feet however do not precisely 
agree with the description given by me in 1881 ('), but the 
differences do not appear to be of specific importance.
