One measured by Mr. Thomas was 190 mm. in total length; tail, 90; hind foot, 
21.5. The following measurements were made in the field by Mr. Zappey: —

The skull, compared with that of A. s. draco, is scarcely longer notwith- 
standing that chevriert is a larger animal. This is due to the relative short- 
ness of the rostrum, which in draco is more elongated and slender. The 
supraorbital crests are strongly developed and extend backward to a point 
opposite the posterior zygomatic root. The teeth are conspicuously heavier, 
the palate wider and the audital bullae larger than in draco. Following are 
the measurements of the skull of No. 7657, from Washan:— greatest length, 
28.3; basal length, 24.8; palatal length, 14.6; incisive foramina, 6; upper 
diastema, 8; nasals, 11; zygomatic breadth, 13; mastoid breadth, 11.7; 
interorbital constriction, 4.4; greatest breadth outside third upper molar, 5; 
length of mandible from condyle to tip of incisor, 18.4; upper molar row, 5; 
lower molar row, 4.6. 
There are four pectoral and four inguinal mammae. 
Mus muscuuus Linné. 
But a single specimen of the House mouse was obtained by Mr. Zappey, 
this a female at Ichang, Hupeh. Bonhote (1905, p. 394) notes that this mouse 
does not seem to be common in China though the British Museum has specimens 
from widely separated localities in that country. 
Epimys conructanus (Milne Edwards). 
Milne Edwards described this species from specimens collected by Pére 
David in the mountains of Moupin and the Province of Szechwan. Mr. Zappey 
obtained one at Kiating, in western Szechwan, which may therefore be consid- 
ered practically a topotype. It is nearly identical with three other specimens
