In attempting to determine a Mettad sent to the British Museum 

 by Col. H. N. Dunn from Ambala, I have examined all the avail- 

 able specimens of the group, quite a considerable number, and 

 mostl}?^ part of the Indian Mammal Survey material. 



With regard to the relations of the veiy distinct Burma species, 

 Millardia hathleence, to the typical Indian Mettads, with which I 

 doubtfully associated it, I now find that like as its skiill is to that 

 of a true Millardia, the structure of its teeth is not the same, so 

 that in conjunction wdth its mammary formula, it may well be dis- 

 tinguished generically. 



Remembering its discovery by Mr. Guy C. Shortridge, who 

 believed, and as it now proves rightly, that he had found a new 

 genus, I would propose for it the name of 



GuYiA, g. n. 



General characters, number of foot-pads and structui'e of skull as 

 in Millardia, but the mammse 0-2=4 instead of 2-2 = 8, and the 

 molar pattern different. 



Genotype Guyi% ImthUenui {Millardia l-athleemv, Thos.). 



Bantje : — Dry zone of Burma. As yet only known from Mt. 

 Popa and Pyawbwe. 



The most marked characteristic of the molars of Millardia is 

 their considerable breadth as compared with their length, and the
