Distribution, — This mouse has only been found in the higher 

 regions of Central Asia, once by Stoliczka, west of the Pan- 

 kong Lak"e in Ladak, at 13,000 feet, and once by Colonel 

 Biddulph in the Aster district of Kashmir, at a height of 11,000 

 feet. 



The species is nearly allied to Mus urbanus, but differs in having 

 "a slightly longer hind-foot with the tubercles very far apart ; the 

 skull differs from that of M. urbanus and M. bactrianus in having the 

 zygomatic arches incurved, the palate also is peculiar, the posterior 

 nasal opening being particularly wide, and the pterygoid short and 

 very considerably thickened.
