Of these by far tlie most striking was a new species of Tukin 

 (Jjudorcas), readily distinguishable by its uniform golden bufty 

 colour from the Sze-chuen species (JJ. tibetanus). In the adult 

 of this fine animal the coloration was wholly bufiy, the darkening 

 of the ears, dorsal line, hinder back and limbs found in B. tibe- 

 tanus being absent, and there was scarcely a trace even of the 

 dark facial patch so prominent in that animal. The new species 

 was proposed to be called Budorcas bedfordi, and female no. 2190 

 was selected as the tj-pe. 



Other new forms were as follows : — 



Arctonyx leucol/emus ORESTES, subsp. n. 



Lighter than in true leiccolcemics. Dark orbital patch reduced 

 to a nariow rim round eye. 



Head and body 570 mm. ; tail 195 ; skull 132. 



Hab. Tsin-ling Mts., alt. 12,000'. Ti/pe. Female. No. 2191, 



MiCROTUS CALAMORUM SUPERUS, Subsp. n. 



llather larger and with decidedly longer tail than true 

 calamo7'U77i. 



Head and body 130 mm. ; tail 63 ; hind foot 24 ; skull 33. 

 ffab. S. Shen-si. Ti/pe. Male. No. 2163. 



OCHOTONA SYRINX, Sp. n. 



Near 0. cansa, but larger. Bullae smaller. 

 Head and body 142 mm. ; hind foot 28"5 ; skull 36*5. 

 Rab. Tai-pei-san. T^/jye. Male. No. 2170. 

 In all, the collection contained 160 specimens referable to 

 30 species.
