 gracilis on the Madras animal, making the Ceylon form a snbspecie^-. 

 under the name zet/lanicus. Thomas having in the meanwhile (A .

 called tardiffradus, Cabrera pointed out that the JNladras form was 

 now without a name and suggested for it that of li/deJikerianiis. 

 (Bol. 11. S. Espan. Hist. Nat., p. 211, 1908). While goinp 

 through all the available material for the preparation of this 

 Summar)', I found that the Ceylon specimens, though they approach- 

 ed those of lydekkeriannn from Mysore, were markedly larger and 

 otherwise differed from animals from ^lalabar, 1 therefore con- 

 cluded to separate these latter under the name mcdabaricus (J. 11
