species. Other specimens from Tong in Baluchistan do not seem 

 materially to differ, while still others from Fatehgar are too young to 

 afford reliable data. 



(5) Nesokia suilla, Thomas. 

 1907. Nesokia suilla, Thomas, Ann. & Mag., Nat. Hist. xx. p. 203. 



Fur finer than in N. indica, but by no means soft and silky as in 

 N. scullyi, brachyura, &c. About 15 mm. in length on the back. 



Coloration much as in N. indica, but on the average a trifle 

 yellower. 



Dimensions : — 



Head and body 185 mm. ; tail 113 ; hind foot 32 ; ear 16. 



Skull : basilar length 39 ; zygomatic breadth 27 ; alveolar length 

 of upper molar series 8*8. 



Hab. Upper Egypt. (Type from Suez, others from Cairo, &c.) 



(6) Nesokia griffithi, Horsfield. 

 1851. NesoJaa griffithi, Horsfield, Cat. p. 145. 



The type is in the Museum Collection, but it is a quite young 

 animal. There are specimens, however, from Rawal Pindi, Hassan 

 Abdool, Kohat, which are neither N. indica nor huttoni, and with 

 which the type of N. griffithi agrees quite well. If my identification 

 is correct : — 



Fur in length and texture very much as in N. suilla. 



Coloration as in N. indica. Hands, feet, and tail pale. 



Dimensions of an old female from Rawal Pindi collected by Major 

 Birrell, R.A.M.C. :— 



Head and body 160 mm. ; tail 113 ; hind foot 30 ; ear 18. 



Skull: basilar length 37 ; zygomatic breadth 18 ; alveolar length of 

 upper molar series 9. 



Hab. Type locality recorded as " Pushut." The localities 

 mentioned above point to a habitat on the W. Himalayas. 



(7) Nesokia beaba f sp. n. 



A bandicoot resembling N. indica, but smaller. 



Size intermediate between N. indica and huttoni. 



Fur very coarse and harsh, short (10-12 mm. on back). 



General colour drab with a brown tinge above, grey on the belly. 

 Hands, feet, and tail darker than in N. indica. 



Skull same shape as in N. indica, but much smaller than in that 

 species.
