1905.] MAMMALS FROM JAPAX. 355 



general way similar, but the broad bold outlines of E. hedfordice 

 are replaced by a Aveaker and more rounded pattern, moie like 

 that of ordinary Evotoinys, to which this species shows some 

 approximation. But the teeth are rootless, and with m" and nig 

 encapsuled as in Craseomys. Posterior section of m^ more com- 

 plicated than in hedfordice, forming an inturned C, there being 

 three re-entrant angles on each side of this tooth, the last at least 

 half as deep as the two anteiior ones. In E. hedfordice and 

 E. rufocanus there is scarcely any trace of a third concavity on 

 either side, while the two anterior re-entrant angles are exceed- 

 ingly deep and bold. 



Dimensions of the type, measured in the flesh : — 



Head and body 120 mm. ; tail 54 ; hind foot (s. u.) 18'5 ; ear 13. 



Skull — greatest length 26'6 ; basilar length 22'7 ; zygomatic 

 breadth 15; length of nasals 7*8 ; interorbital breadth 3"3 ; 

 diastema 7 ; palatilar length 12'2 ; palatal foramina 5 ; length of 

 upper molar series 5'1 ; breadth of front lamina of m" 0"9. 



Hcbb. Northern Hondo. Type from near Morioka. 



Tyjoe. Adult male. B.M. No. 6.1.4.307. Original number 76. 

 Collected 10 October, 1904. 



The second specimen (No. 44) is younger and therefore more 

 greyish brown in colour, and its teeth are more angular than those 

 of No. 76. But I do not think that there is any doubt as to its 

 belonging to the same species as the type. 



1 have named this interesting Vole in honour of Mr. Anderson, 

 its discoverer, who has so far carried out the Duke of Bedford's 

 exploration with conspicuous success.

 Red-backed Vole discovered by Mr. Gordon Smith, adds con- 

 siderably to our knowledge of its variation and distribution. It
