MAMMALS FROM BURMA . 943 
As pointed out by Doria (/. c.) the occurrence of this species 
in the Kakhyen Hills strongly confirms the suggestion as to its 
identity with the Assamese Mus gliroides, Blyth, the type of 
which seems unfortunately to have disappeared from the Calcutta 
Museum. The type of Mus peguensis is however still in existence 
and has been sent over to London for comparison. This proves 
to be unquestionably identical with the present species. 
As already pointed out by Doria, the Thagata specimens are 
less rufous in colour than those from the Kakhyen Hills, but 
the difference is not sufficient to separate the two forms speci- 
fically, even though in addition these Thagata individuals are 
somewhat larger than the others, as is shown in the above table. 
A list of the known specimens and localities of Ch. gl 
roides has been published by Doria in the paper above referred 
to, and Signor Fea is to be congratulated on the help that his 
specimens have given in elucidating the history and distribution 
of this beautiful little Mouse. W. Sclater (/. c.) has also given 
a valuable description, with figures, of the Calcutta Museum 
specimens of the species. 
101. Microtus (Neodon) melanogaster, M. Enw. 
a. d'. Kakhyen Hills. - 
Head and body 76; tail 35; hind-foot 16; ear 7.1. 
The posterior upper molar of this specimen agrees very closely 
with that figured by Blanford (') in his paper on the Indian 
Arvicolae. 
The present is the first recorded occurrence of any species 
of vole within Burmese territory. i 
102. Rhizomys sumatrensis erythrogenys, AnpERs. 
9 specimens. Meteleo (July-September, 1888) Yado, December, 
1887, January, 1888). 
These specimens unquestionably belong to Anderson’s RA. 
erythrogenys, but I do not think the form to be specifically
