1907.] FROM SAGHALIEN AND Ht)KKAlLO. 407 



Japan, these are the first examples from the Far East that the 

 British Museum has received. They show remarkably little 

 diflference from European examples,

This large-footed Shrew was discovered in Saghalien by Dr. L. 

 von Schrenk, by whom the type, afterwards described by Dobson, 

 was sent to the St. Petersburg Museum. No example of it had 

 hithei'to reached the Bi'itish Museum. 



No. 899, a female, is smaller than usual, with a smaller skull, 

 shorter tail, and lighter claws ; but I can find no sufficient reason 

 for distinguishing it from other specimens taken at the same 

 place. Mr. Anderson notes of this individual that it " contained 

 5 embryos, 9*5 mm. long ; maminpe 6 in number, all inguinal." 



6. SOREX DAPH/ENODON, sp. n. 



?. 916, 925, 956. Darine, 25 miles K.\Y. of Korsakoff, 

 Saghalien. 



>S'. araneus gi'oup. The teeth very heavily pigmented ; tail 

 thickly haired. 



Size and general characters of S. araneus. Hairs of back 

 about 4g mm. in length (summer specimens). General colour 

 above dark brown (between Prout's brown and bistre). Sides 

 little lighter than back ; under surface dull greyish, with slight 

 drabby tinge. Hands rather heavy, though not neai'ly so lai'ge as 

 in S. unguiculatus, the claws slightly longer than usual ; upper 

 surface of hands and feet grey-brown, darker than in (S'. anvexus. 

 Tail of medium length, heavily haired and pencilled even in 

 summer specimens ; the hairs at the tip over 7 mm. in length. 



Skull and dentition veiy much as in >S'. araneus, except that the 

 teeth are extraordinarily heavily pigmented throughout, the 

 pigment covering all the cones of the teeth and passing lower 

 into the valleys than in any Sorex known to me ; the hypocones 

 of the upper p'\ m\ and m' all heavily pigmented ; viewed exter- 

 nally the limiting line of the brown pigment is more than halfway 

 down the outer side of the teeth.
