Distribution. — The Himalayas generally from Kashmir to Sik- 

 kim. 



Two other species of Lagomys, allied to L. roylei, have been 

 described, whether they are identical with L. roylei cannot be 

 decided without an examination of the types ; one is L, curzonise 

 of Hodgson (J. A.. S. B., xxvi, p. 207) procured from the Chumbi 

 Valley of Thibet; this is asserted by Giinther (Ann. Mag. N. H. (4), 

 xvi, p. 230) to be quite distinct from the other Himalayan spe- 

 cies, the other is L. tibetanus of Milne Edwards from Moupin in 

 Thibet, and this seems to be closely allied to L. roylei.
