DistriluHon. — Western India; the type was described from 

 Karachi, and the Indian Museum has specimens from Goona and 

 Kutch. 



This species seems to be very closely allied to M. mettada, 

 from which it is however distinguished by its considerably smaller 

 size and by its' very much shorter and narrower tarsus ; this species 

 too seems never to possess more than 4 pads on the hind-foot, while 

 all the specimens of M. mettada inthe Museum possess the proxi- 

 mal 5th pad. 



The measurements of the three specimens compare very well 

 with the measurements given by Blanford in a note appended 

 to the original description, i.e.: — Head and body, 3*40; tail, 2-80; 

 hind-foot, -70; forearm and hand, 'So; ear conch, "61 ; auditory 

 meatus to muzzle, '91 .

Distribution. — The house-mouse of Central Asia, described as a 

 new species by Blanford, has been since identified by Buchner (/,c.) 

 as a species of Eversmann's, described long ago from a specimen 

 collected on the steppes between the Volga and the Ural. It has 

 been got by Przewalsky from a large number of localities through- 

 out Turkestan and Mongolia, and seems to be the common house- 

 mouse of all Central Asia.
