I have found Mus orientalis in the stomach of an example of this species. 
Its native name is ^Ua. —gidari, which means " belonging to walls." 
The most interesting of the specimens in the table on p. 258 are the male from Abu 
Roash and the young from Assiut and Tokar, each of which has 23 rows of scales across 
the body. Other slight variations occur, all of which are indicated in the table, except 
one, viz. the transverse division of the fifth upper labial, complete on one side of the 
head, but incomplete on the other, in a female from Assuan. 
It will be observed that in the eighth specimen on the list the eye is surrounded on 
one side of the head by the prseocular, three suboculars, and two postoculars, thus 
excluding any of the upper labials from entering the orbital rim on that side.
