1905. ] MAMMALS FROM JAPAN. 355 
general way similar, but the broad bold outlines of #. bedfordice 
are replaced by a weaker and more rounded pattern, more like 
that of ordinary Hvotomys, to which this species shows some 
approximation. But the teeth are rootless, and with m° and m, 
encapsuled as in Craseomys. Posterior section of m* more com- 
plicated than in bedfordiw, forming an inturned C, there being 
three re-entrant angles on each side of this tooth, the last at least 
half as deep as the two anterior ones. In JZ, bedfordiw and 
E. rufocanus there is scarcely any trace of a third concavity on 
either side, while the two anterior re-entrant angles are exceed- 
ingly deep and bold. 
Dimensions of the type, measured in the flesh :— 
Head and body 120 mm.; tail 54; hind foot (s.u.) 18-5; ear 13. 
Skull—ereatest length 26°6; basilar length 22°7; zygomatic 
breadth 15; length of nasals 7:8; interorbital breadth 3°3; 
diastema 7; palatilar length 12:2; palatal foramina 5; length of 
upper molar series 5-1 ; breadth of front lamina of m? 0°9. 
Hab. Northern Hondo. 'Type from near Morioka. 
Type. Adult male. B.M. No. 6.1.4.807. Original number 76. 
Collected 10 October, 1904. 
The second specimen (No. 44) is younger and therefore more 
greyish brown in colour, and its teeth are more angular than those © 
of No. 76. But I do not think that there is any doubt as to its 
belonging to the same species as the type. 
T have named this interesting Volein honour of Mr. Anderson, 
its discoverer, who has so far carried out the Duke of Bedford’s 
exploration with conspicuous success.
