the exact tint being somewhere between " Ecru drab " and " Fawn

Skull resembles that of D. layopus Licht., but the teeth are 

 more massive and their pattern less complicated.

 foot 59 ; ear 18. (All'taken from tbe dried skin.) 



Tbis is a very distinct Jerboa, with no very near known ally, 

 and a detailed description of whicb would be unnecessary. I have 

 pleasure in connecting it with the name of its discoverer.

 Turkestan, 4700 ft., 8th October, 1898. 



The immaturity of these two specimens prevents their satisfac- 

 tory determination ; they may be the young of D. cleasyi. 



Euchoreutes naso, W. L. Selater, P. Z. S. 1890, p. 610. 



Nos. 99.11.5.6, 7 & 8. $ . Ak Langar on the Yarkand-Khotan 

 Road, altitude 4500 ft., 3rd July, 1898. 



Native name, " Sarok Kuruk " (" Brown Tail "). 



The original specimens of Euchoreutes naso, although known to 

 be from Eastern or Chinese Turkestan, had no exact locality 

 attached to them. It is satisfactory to have this deficiency supplied 

 by Captain Deasy's specimens. The Ak Langar is a Rest-house. 

 The specimens were obtained in the night, so that, although Captain 

 Deasy states that the animal was very common, he is unable to give 

 any details as to its habits.
