buff or yellowisb white, resembling that of some of the wild 

 subspecies that have been described from various localities (see 

 Thomas 1, Barrett-Hamilton 2), rather than the smoky grey with 

 which we are familiar in the domestic race. 



In dimensions this variety agrees with Mus musculus, as will 

 be seen from a perusal of the following table, in which the speci- 

 mens have been arranged according to colour, No. 1 being 

 indistinguishable from the domestic form, and No. 30 the palest 

 of all. Nos. 31-36 are also very pale, but have been separated 

 from the rest as immature.
