The larger specimens from Coll and Tiree are in the light 

 summer coat of young born in the same season ; in this pelage the 

 hairs are more plentifully grizzled or peppered with tawny than 

 in adults. The very young specimens show an intei^esting early 

 pelage, iir which the upper side is lighter than in adults, the under 

 side very clear and nearly white.

 Eigg, Sanda, Great Cumbrae, Lewis, North and South Uist, 

 Benbecula, and Barra. (Barrett-Hamilton, ' History of British

With this material we are unable to disting'uish the Evotomys 

 of Bute from the form inhabiting the mainland. In No. 6 the 

 cement-spaces of the cheek-teeth are just closed ; in J^o. 27 the 

 roots of the cheek-teeth are moderately developed. In each 

 specimen the last upper molar has a third inner fold. The 

 skvill agrees in size and general form with that of britannicus, 

 but the external measurements indicate a rather smaller animal 

 with slightly larger hind feet than the latter.
