Skull dimensions of an old male from Calcutta are : — 

 Greatest length 43 ; basilar length 38*3 ; zygomatic breadth 25 ; 

 brain-case breadth 16'3 ; interorbital breadth 6'7 ; nasals 13*8 ; 

 diastema 14 ; upper molar series 6*8. 



Hab. Lower Bengal. Nesokia blythianus of Anderson is almost 

 certainly a synonym of bengalensis, and it seems most likely that his 

 barclayanus from Ghazipur is the same. I have seen a spirit- 

 specimen from Moulmein, an adult female, which tallies with the 

 above measurements ; it seems to approach varius in its colouring.
