PACHYURA OCCULTIDENS, new species. 



Type.^ — From Ilo-ilo, Panay. Young adult male in alcohol, skull 

 removed, Cat. No. 175761, U.S.N.M. Collected in August, 1912, by 

 Dr. Carroll Fox. 



Diagnosis. — Size large; in general much like larger specimens of 

 Pachyura luzoniensis, but skull relatively wider interorbitally, and 

 second unicuspid tooth very large, almost equal to third. 



Color of specimens in alcohol indistinguishable from that of the 

 Luzon species. 



Slcull and teeth. — Skull very much like that of P. luzoniensis, but 

 heavier interorbitally. Teeth large, crowded, the rows shortened. 

 First three unicuspids large, the second only slightly smaller than 

 tliird; fourth unicuspid greatly reduced, lying entirely posterior to 

 line between anterior tips of large premolars, and not visible from 

 outer side; the large premolar, from this view, in contact with third 

 unicuspid. 



Measurements of type (from alcohoUc specimen). — Head and body, 

 115 mm.; tail vertebrae, 70; hind foot, without claws, 19. Skull of 

 type: Condylobasal length, 30.7; mastoid breadth, 13.6; least inter- 

 orbital breadth, 5.7; upper tooth row, entire, 13.6; mandible, 17.0; 

 lower tooth row, entire, 12.2. 



Specimens. — Four, from the following localities: 



Panay: Ilo-ilo, 2 (Fox). 



Negros: 1 (Steere). 



Mindanao: 1 (Steere). 



The shrew originally described as Crocidura edwardsiona * is placed 

 in the genus Pachyura in the Supplement to Trouessart's Catalogue, 

 and I followed this disposition of the species in my recent list of 

 PhiUppine mammal names. ^ I am lately informed by Doctor Troues- 

 sart that the type of the Sulu species is an undoubted Crocidura. 



CROCIDURA GRAYI Dobson. 



Specimens. — Five, from Luzon: Haights-in-the-oaks, Benguet 

 (Mearns) . 



CROCIDURA HALCONUS Miller. 



Specimens. — Seven, from the following localities: Mindoro: Bula- 

 lacao, 1 (Mearns); Mount Halcon, 6, including the type (Mearns). 



CROCIDURA BEATUS Miller. 



Specimen. — One, the type, from Mindanao: Mount Bliss (Mearns). 

 This species and C. halconus are members of the grayi group. 



CROCIDURA MINDORUS Miller. 



Specimens. — Two, the type and paratype, from Mindoro: Mount 

 Halcon (Mearns) .
