Ghats." The label of the specimen reads "Madras," the nearest large 

 city to the locality mentioned by Waterhouse. The specimen is 

 rather old, mounted, and without skull, but in a good state of preser- 

 vation and apparently not injured as to color by exposure to light. 

 There are two other specunens, paratjq^es, collected by Elliot at the 

 same locality: 50.1.21.7, a young individual recently made into a 

 modern study skin, in good condition and color, and with fragments 

 of skull present, and 50.1.21.6, with skull, 50.8.21.16, an adult 

 female, long mounted and much exposed to the light and so bleached 

 that the grizzling is lost, and the brownish color of the back merely 

 indicated.
