Type.—BM., No. 6.8.4.9 ; young adult male, skin and skull, 

 collected by A. Robert ; presented by Oldfield Thomas. 



Type locality.- — Santa Eufemia d'Aspromonte, Calabria, Italy. 



Range. — Mountains of Southern Italy. 



Characters — Externally like E. n. nageri, but with the under 

 parts less washed with yellowish-brown. Skull with longer, 

 narrower braincase, shorter rostrum, short wide incisive foramina 

 and larger teeth. 



Colour as in E. n. nageri, but under parts light grey washed 

 with whitish cream-buff. Line of demarcation along sides ill 

 defined. Feet dull whitish, somewhat lighter than is usual in 

 E. n. nageri. 



Skull (of only known specimen) somewhat defective, but 

 differing from that of E. n. nageri and related forms in the decided 

 elongation of the braincase and a slight shortening of the rostrum. 

 Length of braincase, from back of interparietal to line joining 

 tips of jjost-orbital processes, nearly equal to zygomatic breadth, 

 instead of decidedly less than the zygomatic breadth as in the 

 related large forms. Interorbital region rather wide and smooth. 

 Rostrum relatively shorter than in E. n. nageri, and the incisive 

 foramina much shorter and wider, their greatest combined breadth 

 decidedly more than one-third instead of about one-fourth of 

 their length as in the related forms. But all these cited dis- 

 tinctive characters are in part at all events attributable to the 

 youth of the single known si^ecimen, in which the molar roots are 

 less than 1 mm. long. 



Cheek-teeth heavier than in E. n. nageri, rather like those of 

 E. ccBsarius. Pattern normal; ni^ with well-develoj^ed third 

 inner infold. 



For external and cranial measurements, see tables at end of 

 volume.
