(25) Cheliones hxjrrian.^ collinus, Thos. 

 The Western Desert Gerbil. 

 19. Cheliones hurriancs collinus, Thomas, J. B, N. H. S. XXVI., p. 726. 

 Kelat, J 2 ; Hazarganji, 9 1 ; Nal, J 1, 2 ^ ; Wadh, J 5, 2 4; 

 Chahabar, 2 -1 ? Chambar, (5 2, 2 1- 

 These specimens by their size and the marked slaty bases of the hairs 

 of the belly fall into Thomas's subsp. collinus. It is possible that later it 

 may be found that the more \vestern(Chahabar, &c.,)individuals (at present 

 the most westerly representatives of the genus) may prove, with Persian 

 specimens, to require a separate name. 



(26) Mekiones peksiuus baptist.e, Thos. 



The Persian Jird. 

 19. 3Itriones persicus baptistce, Thomas. J. B. N. H. S. XXVI., p. 934.

 Pasht Kuh, c? 1 ; Panjgur, c? 2 ; Kulochak, J 1. 

 I have adopted the English name, based on the local vernacular, given 

 to this genus when its first individual was found in the very early 18th 

 century. 



(27) Mekiones erythrourus, Gray. 



The Afghan Gerbil. 



1842. Gerbillus erythroura, Gray. A. M. N. H. X., p. 266.

(28) DiPODiLLUs NANUS, Blanf. 



The Baluch Dipodil. 

 1875. Gerbillus nanus, Blanford. A. M. N. H. 4, XVI., p. 312. 

 1891. Gerbillus nanus, Blanford. Mamm. No. 267.

 Rekchak, 2 1 ; Harboi, 2 1 ; Chahabar, J 1 ; Hoshab, 6 2 ; 

 Shaharak, cJ 1. 

 . Specimens under this name are recorded in the reports from Kathiawar, 

 Palanpur and Sind. Thomas however after examining the present speci- 

 mens has arrived at the conclusion that these represent true D. nanus, and 

 that the form found in Sind, &c., is distinct, and has published his conclu- 

 Bions elsewhere in this Journal. I have abandoned Blanford's English 

 name which ceases to be descriptive.
