No white bellied rats were obtained at this locality (see 

 Wroughton, J. Bomhay N. H. Soc, xxiii, p. 295), I have seen 

 8 specimens of '' ricfescens" from Philibhit; the fur is rather long 

 and soft in the younger, thinner, harsher, and with a few spines 

 in the older individuals. Dorsal colour varies between reddish and 

 greyish brown. Bellies with rather long hair, slaty bases, a rusty 

 tinge and merging gradually in the flank colour. Feet light brown 

 above, with a dusky wash — best marked in the redder specimens. 



Ramnagar, altitude 1,100 feet.

 „ 170- -32-22 = 180- -18.8-13 5 „ 



These strike me as being slightly paler above than the speci- 

 mens from Philibhit ; they have more grey and less red upon their 

 backs ; the bellies have a yellowish-grey tinge ; feet grey with 

 more or less brown.

5 adults from this place average much darker in general colour 

 than those from Ramnagar or Philibhit. Backs heavily clouded 

 with black, flanks brown ; bellies with rusty tinge ; fur rather 

 harsh ; feet dusky ; and tails very dark also. One young speci- 

 men, however, is very brightly coloured, its back being markedly 

 rufous. 



In the majority of the female rufescens from Kumaon, the mam- 

 mary formula is 2-3=10 ; one or two, however, have 12 mammae.
