 The change in the proportions vi^ith growth is as follows : 



type 



The tail is thus distinctly shorter in adults than it is in narhado' 

 or arboreus (cf., tables at pp. 78 and 75 ). 



The mammae could be counted in 8 of the females ; in 6 

 (including the type) the formula is 2-3-10; 2 have 11 mamma> 

 each, an extra one being present on one side in the pectoral 



regfion. 



The skull is sinall (condylo-basal length averaging 37*1 instead 

 of 38-4 as in narhadce), about 3 mm. shorter than in alexandriniis 

 and the cranial width is relative!}'' a little greater than in the 

 latter. Judging from the intertemporal distances (dimensions 6 

 and 7, Table II) the temporal muscles are scarcely weaker rela- 

 tively than in arboreus ; bu-t the parietals articulate, above the 

 temporal lines, rather broadly with the supraoccipital and the 

 zygomatic breadth is scarcely greater relatively than in narbadtv. 

 As in the latter form the palate and diastema are relatively slightly 

 shorter than in arboreus, but the palatal foramina are a little longer. 

 In several respects the cranial proportions are intermediate between 

 those of arboreus and the European races of rathis. 



Local Variation : — Little need be said on this score. The two 

 from Talala (H. & B. 120 and 142) are very dark animals with 

 dirty white bellies and dusky feet ; these were taken in a hut. 

 l^'our others from Sasan were also caught in a hut and these simi- 

 larly possess such a dingy appearance that Miss Ryley listed them
