Abstract
Small mammals from two mid-Pliocene localities in Azad Kashmir produce a modern shrew comparable to living Suncus and murids assignable to t hree genera. These are Golunda helleri, a species described previously from an early Pleistocene locality in northern Pakistan, cf. Hadromys sp., and Mus sp. The murids date to about 3 Ma and thus include the o ldest record of Golunda and of the Hadromys lineage.
