850 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST SOCIETY, Vol. XXI. 



This pretty little animal has, at first sight, a curiously close superficial 

 resemblance to Leggada platythrix, but is really barely half the size of that 

 species. The presence of frontal ridges on the skull add to this resem- 

 blance, but the dentition is so essentially that of Mus that its separation 

 from Leggada ■platythrix cannot, for a moment, be in doubt. 



Although the type was not taken in his District, I have great pleasure 

 m naming it after Mr. R. M. Phillips, who has taken such great interest in 

 the Field work of the Mammal Survey, and given such great assistance to 

 our collector Mr. G. C. Shortridge.
