to the fact that our visit was during a very 
good year, when, owing to a greater abund- 
ance of food, they may have been less tempted 
to enter our traps. We failed to find their 
burrows. 
Phodopus campbelli, Thos. 
Two specimens, g, 9. Tabool, 100 miles 
N. of Kalgan, Mongolia. 4,000 ft. 
From its general appearance, and the 
coalescence of the lobes of the foot into one 
ball, this species certainly ought to be re- 
ferred to Mr. Miller’s new genus Phodopus. 
This interesting little hamster was originally 
described by Mr. Thomas from almost the 
same district, so that these specimens are 
practically topotypes. Mr. Anderson found 
this species also very common, which again 
was contrary to our experience. 
Phodopus bedfordie, Thos. 
One specimen, 9. Wu-tsai, 20 miles W. of 
Ning-wu Fu, Shansi. 6,000 ft. (?) 
Judging from the tracks in the sand this 
little hamster is evidently fairly common 
in this locality. 
Its Chinese name is “ Mi-ts’ang ”—means 
‘Storer of millet.”
