'mouse'. On subsequent examination it proved to be a member of the family Cricetidae, the bank vole, _Clethrionomys glareolus_ Schreber — a family of mammals hitherto unknown from
Ireland ... Comparisons of cranial characters were made with series of British mainland and continental specimens ... The only detectable difference is that the nasals are on average shorter
and the condyle width greater than the British forms, but even here there is considerable overlap ... Investigations now being carried out are aimed at establishing the present distribution
of this species in Ireland. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to this journal Receive 51 print
