 [ " These long-tailed Mice are found wherever there are rocky hiUs, par- 

 ticularly a^ong limestone. They are nocturnal, and feed on grass, seeds, 

 iind the leaves of a small bush, and live under and among the rocks ; 

 they seem to be gregarious from the fact that in places large collections 

 of droppings may be found in hollows under rocks." — C. A. C] 

 Epimys rufescens. Gray. 

 The conmion Indian Rat. 

 (For synonymy, see Report No. 1.) 

 S 324, 325, 336, 416, 436, 438, 461 ; $ 311, 322, 334, 335, 337,

5 504 ; $ 505. Adesar, Cutch. 



{Vide also Reports Xos. 1 and 2.) 

 There appears to be no noticeable variation in the specimens so far 

 received. 



Vernacular name — Gamxi-undar. {H. H. the Rao.) 

 [" Rats are very common everywhere, they keep to huts and houses and 

 are protected and fed by the Banyas." — C. A. C] 



MUS MUSCULXJS, L. 

 The common House-Mouse. 



6 437 (imm) ; 2 420. Bhuj, Cutch. 



{Vide also Report No. 1.) 

 I must, much against the grain, still use this name though the present 

 specimens bear little or no resemblance to true musculus. The names 

 dubius, homourus, and urbanus of Hodgson appear to all represent a species 

 not unlike these specimens but with such poor material it is impossible to 

 differentiate. Good series of house mice from all over India are a great 

 desideratum. 



Vernacular name — Undedi. {H. H. the Rao.) 

 ["House mice are not common in Cutch, but few were taken in Bhuj. 

 They were reported from the North but not known in the East of the 

 State."— C. A. C]
