Ph.D. Mammalia by W. T. Blanford, F.R.S. {Chiroptera by 
G. E. Dobson, M.A., M.B.) Calcutta : 1879, pp. 94, pis. xvi. 
Contains an account of the Mammalia inhabiting Eastern Turkestan 
and the adjacent territories traversed by the late Dr. Stoliczka during 
the mission sent to Kashgar in 1873-4, in large part based on specimens 
then collected, with some subsequent additions from other sources. Fifty- 
nine species of Mammalia in all are treated of, of which some are left 
undetermined, whilst 2 are described as new. Many of the less known 
or more interesting species are figured. [<8onc^W^c, Erinaceidm, FelidcCy
