noted that in not one of the specimens are the two bridges over — 
the lateral grooves on the posterior palate complete, while they 
appear to be always complete in true Hvotomys. 
Teeth broad and powerful, their pattern much asin #. rufo- 
canus; last segment of m® simple, with scarcely any trace of a 
postero-internal re-entrant angle. 
Dimensions of the type, measured in the flesh :— 
Head and body 119 mm. ; tail 47 ; hind foot (s.u.) 20; ear 15. 
Skull—greatest length 27:8; basilar length 24; zygomatic 
breadth 16 ; length of nasals 8 ; interorbital breadth 3-7; diastema 
79; palatilar length 13; palatal foramina 5-7; length of upper 
molar series 6°4; breadth of front lamina of m? 1°3. 
Hab. Hokkaido. Type from Shinshinotsu. 
Type. Adult male. B.M. No. 6.1.4.298. Original number 23. 
Collected 10 September, 1904. 
T have named this handsome Vole after Her Grace the Duchess 
of Bedford, whose interest in zoology is not less than that of her 
husband. 
E. bedfordie agrees with the Scandinavian L. rufocanus, the 
type of the subgenus Craseomys, in all essential particulars, but 
may be readily distinguished by its more glareolus-like colour, less 
contrasted back and sides, and longer, less hairy tail. 
E. (C.) latastet Allen, from Kamtchatka, is a considerably 
smaller animal. 
An example of this species was obtained by the late Dr. John 
Anderson in Hokkaido in 1885, and presented by him to the 
British Museum, but has not hitherto been identified.

Very like H. (Craseomys) bedfordie externally, but with longer 
tail, and the teeth much less powerful. 
General external appearance almost exactly the same as in 
E. bedfordic, the fur of the same long loose texture, and the 
colour similarly dark lined chestnut passing gradually into 
greyish on the sides, without the marked contrast found in 
EF. rufocanus. Under surface rather darker buff than in £. bed- 
fordiec. Feet rather shorter than in the allied species; tail 
longer, its dark upper less contrasted with its pale lower surface. 
Skull of the same general shape as in /. bedfordic, and with 
the same long parallel-sided interorbital region, but more lightly 
built throughout. Palatal foramina shorter. Hinder edge of 
palate with the bridges over the lateral grooves complete. 
Teeth conspicuously lighter and weaker than in /. bedfordie, 
the incisors and all the molars much narrower. Pattern in a
