 of body not a conspicuous reddish brown, but a grizzle of blackish and 

 ochraceous ; tail a coarse grizzle of buff and blackish, the latter color m 

 excess; sides of head, neck, and body, and outer side of legs and feet a 

 grizzle of pale or cream buff and blackish; underparts and inner sides 

 of legs whitish; shoulder stripe whitish, but not conspicuous. 



Shull and teeth. —There are no tangible characters by which the

 those of A. ellioti. 



Measurements. — Type: Head and body, 177 mm.; tail, 187; hind 

 foot, 44; condylobasal length, 42; zygomatic width, 22.5; width of 

 braincase, 18; maxillary toothrow, 15. 



Specimens examined. — Three, one each from Mandvi, Dangs, and 

 Matheran. 



Remarlcs. — ^The "Indian Tupaia," recorded in the Satpura HiUs 

 by Ball m 1874,^ is undoubtedly this species. 



ANATHANA PALLIDA, new species. 



Type-locality. — Munbhum, northeastern India. 



Type-specimen. — In British Museum, Reg, No. 66.12.28.2, skin and 

 skull of young adult female, collected at Munbhum, India, in 1865 

 by R. C. Beavan; in good condition. 



Geographic distribution. — Northeastern India, rangmg from Raipur 

 northeastward as far as the Ganges River. See No. 3 on map on 

 page 125. 



Diagnosis. — Generally paler in color than is Anathana ellioti, 

 upper parts only slightly reddish brown; tail not concolor with body; 

 hind feet and legs grizzled buffy. 



Color. — Of the same general pattern as that of Anathana ellioti, 

 but the reddish brown of the back is not nearly so dark or conspicuous, 

 and is not continued on to the tail; tail similar in color to sides of 

 body; shoulder stripe quite conspicuous and nearly clear white; under- J 

 parts and inner side of legs whitish. 1 



SlcuU and teeth. — These show no evident characters by which they 

 can be distinguished from those of Anathana ellioti. 



Measurements. — Type : Head and body (from dried skin), 185 ± mm. ; 

 tail, from dried skin, 165 ±; hind foot, 41; zygomatic width, 21; 

 width of braincase, 17; maxillary toothrow, 15. For measurement 

 of a second specimen see table, page 126. 



Remarlcs. — Several specimens are recorded by Anderson in the 

 Indian Museum from Monghyr or near there. They are probably 

 examples of this species. The Monghyr specimens bring the range of 

 Anathana very close to that of Tupaia chinensis, to the northeast of 

 the Ganges Valley. 



Specimens examined. — Two, the type and one from Raipur.
