- Attention may be directed to the following memoirs which have appeared since the publication of Dr. Severtzoff's work:—Dr. Günther on Leporine Mammals from Central Asia Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 4 xvi 228 231 Sir V. Brooke, Bart., and Mr. B. Brooke on Asiatic Sheep (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1875, pp. 509–526); Mr. W. T. Blanford on Mammals collected by the late dr. Stoliczka in Turkestan, &c. (Journ. Asiat. Soc. Beng. xliv. pp. 105–112), on the Marmots of Central Asia (tom. cit. pp. 113–127), and on Stag's Horns from the Thian-Shan (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1875, pp. 637–641)—E. R. A.
- Dr. Severtzoff subsequently suggested that these specimens might belong rather to Milne-Edwards's A. robustus, which Mr. Blanford identifies with A. himalayanus of Hodgson. Cf. Journ. Asiat. Soc. Beng. 126 126 xlic—E. R. A.
- Should this prove to be a good species it will require a new name, A. lecurus having been used by Gerbe Rev. Zool. 1852 260 260 for a European vole which Blasius and Fatio consider to be identical with A. mvalis of Martius.—E. R. A.
- Mr. Blanford has since described “the common house-mouse of Eastern Turkesten” as a new species, under the name of M. pachycercus; he regards it as most nearly allied to M. bachtrianus: Journ. Asiat. Soc. Beng. xliv 108 108 —E. R. A.
- C. fulvus, a new species allied to C. phæus, is described by Mr. Blanford from Eastern Turkestan, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Beng. xliv 108 108 —E. R. A.
