MAMMAL SURVEY OF INDIA, BURMA AND CEYLON. 315 



form, but, so fav as can be gathered from this very full collection, 

 the House-rat is entirely absent from the country, being only tound', 

 evidently introduced by shipping, at or close to marine' ports. 



In the Collection are represented 44 forms included in 34 genera 

 and as might be expected on the border-land of transition from 

 one Fauna to another it has been found necessary to give quite a 

 number of new names to intermediate forms, but from the point 

 of view of novelty by far the most interesting, are the two forms 

 of the Vesper Mouse Calomyscus (Jiotsoni and baluchi), a genus 

 intimately related to the New World Peromyscus by the form of its 

 teeth. A single specimen of another species (bailwardi) of the genus 

 was taken at Mali-i-Mir, 70 miles N. E. of Ahwas, Persia, by Col. 

 Bailward and Mr. R. B. Woosnam, and these three species form a 

 small group without any intermediate forms either structurally 

 or geographically between them and the American Peromyscus. 



The following list shows the new species and subspecies found 

 in this collection : — 



(1) Myotis lanaceus.
