5. The Mammalian Fauna of China.—Part I. Murine. 
By J. Lewis Bonnore, M.A., F.L.S.* 
[Received October 28, 1905.] 
The object of a proposed series of papers, of which this 1s 
the first, is to brig up to date our existing knowledge of the 
Mammalian Fauna of China, at present scattered throughout 
various papers, which, except Mons. Milne-Edwards’s ‘ Recherches 
Mammiferes,’ are short. 
The material used has been chiefly that contained in the 
British Museum, which, apart from a portion of Swinhoe’s col- 
lection, contains large collections made by Messrs. Styan, Rickett, 
and La Touche, as well as several smaller collections, amongst 
which we may mention a small consignment very carefully 
collected by Mr. E. B. Howell. 
IT have to thank the late Dr. E. Oustalet for his kind courtesy 
and the facilities afforded me for a careful examination of Pére 
David’s types in the Paris Museum. 
Many imperfections due to lack of specimens and exact data 
are bound to occur, but it is hoped that these papers may prove 
useful as a foundation on which future workers may build, and 
with this object in view the synonymy throughout has been made 
as full and accurate as possible.
