Conilurus (also known as Hapalotis) is a genus containing species which are termed Jerboa Eats, on account of their mode of progression. They are desert and Australian forms. There are sixteen species. Mastacomys, with one species, is limited to Tasmania. Uromys, with some eight species, is from Queensland, and inhabits also the Aru Islands and the Solomon Islands. The Celebesian EcMothrix, or Graurothrix as it should apparently properly be called, is another genus containing but a single species. Golunda is both Oriental and Ethiopian, one species occurring in each region. The beauti- ful little striped Barbary Mice, Arviacanthis (or Isomys), are African, north as well as tropical. The genus Saccostomus resembles the Hamsters in the presence of cheek pouches. Its teeth, however, are Murine.
