Whether this species grades into the Indian 7’. indica remains 
to be seen when more material is available.

No, 26 agrees very well with a co-type, a female, in the British 
Museum from Kohrud, but 36 has longer ears and smaller bulle. 
As its locality, however, is intermediate between those of 26 and 
the type, I presume the differences are either individual or sexual. 
I am glad to be able to come at last to a definite conclusion 
about the generic position of this animal, the teeth of the co-type 
being so worn down that it was impossible till now to decide 
whether it was a Weriones or a Gerbillus. The new specimens 
show clearly that its teeth are those characteristic of the former 
genus. 
16. MERIONES ERYTHRURUS Gray. 
6. 1,3, 22. Ahwaz, Karun R. 220’. 
This Gerbille, which I provisionally refer to the Afghan species, 
is also nearly related to I. meridianus Pall.

Karun River. Nocturnal.”—A. B. W.
