SINO-MONGOLIAN FRONTIER 
brought in by the natives. This mole has 
also been recorded from Yii-lin Fu, on the 
border of the Ordos, from T’ai-yiian Fu, in 
Shansi, and from South Shansi. It was 
originally described from the last mentioned 
place. 
Its Chinese name is “ Ti chu,” meaning 
“ground hog” (Ti = earth, ground; chu 
= pig, or hog). 
Crocidura sp. 
Three specimens, 233, 192 (immature). 
5 miles S. of T’ai-yiian Fu, Shansi. 
2,600 ft. 
Owing to the immaturity of these speci- 
mens it has been impossible to identify them 
with any hitherto known species. They 
appear to be most like Crocidura coreew, which 
species is found in the neighbouring province 
of Chihli. Shrews are evidently very scarce 
in Shansi, no other specimens having yet 
been recorded. 
Felis fontaniert, M.-Edw. 
One specimen from near T’ai-yiian Fu, 
Shansi. 
The skin and skull were purchased from a 
native, so that no flesh measurements could 
be taken. The leopard is comparatively 
common in the mountains of Shansi, being
