Mus rubricosa, Anderson Anai. Zool. Res., p. 306 (1878). 



Distribution. — Kakhyen hills of Upper Burma. 

 This species is closely allied to M. rattus nitidus ; it seems to 

 be distinguished only by its very dark ventral surface ; whether this 

 is a constant character or not, can only be proved by further speci- 

 mens.
