On a small Collection of Mammals obtained by -Captain Deasy in South Chinese Turkestan and Western Tibet. By G. E. H. BARRETT-HAMILTON, F.Z.S.
The small collection of mammals which is dealt with in the present paper includes only 16 specimens of 5 species, all rodents. These are, however, of considerable interest, since, apart from the localities in which they were procured, two of them, a Vole and a Jerboa, which I have named respectively Microtus lama and Dipus leas ji, belong to hitherto undescribed forms. A third is the extraordinary Euchoreutes nano, described by Mr. W. L. Sclater in 1890 from specimens obtained by the Hon. Charles Ellis somewhere in Eastern Turkestan. The acquisition of examples of this species (and genus) adds a valuable novelty to the collection of mammals in the British Museum, whither Capt. Deasy's specimens have found their way.
The following is a list of the specimens :-
MERIONES CRYPTORHINUS Blanford, J. A. S. Bengal, ii. p. 108 (1875).
No. 99.11.5.1. a. Kara Sai, Chinese Turkestan. 9th July, 1898, altitude 9,500 ft.
