The British Museum owes to the kindness of Prof. Sasaki 
representative examples of the Vole described by him as Arvicola 
haianedzumi, and with these Mr. Anderson’s specimens entirely 
agree. But Prof. Sasaki’s name is unfortunately antedated by 
that given by Milne-Kdwards in 1874, the type of which latter is 
in the Paris Museum. 
This type was carefully examined by Mr. Gerrit Miller during 
his recent visit to Europe, and on his later studying in London 
the specimens of ‘‘ hatanedzwmi” from Tokyo, and a series from 
_ Misaki sent home by Mr. Gordon Smith, he came to the conclusion 
that all belonged to one species, a conclusion from which I see no 
reason to differ. 
One (No. 80) of the twenty-three specimens has a supplementary 
agrestis-like lobe on m’, but does not differ from the rest in any 
other respect. 
This Vole is evidently rare in Shikoku and Kiushiu, for 
Mr. Anderson obtained no example of it in the former island and 
only two in the latter.
