of its crown. The third unicuspid and large premolar are almost In 

 contact. Large premolar well developed, its protocone minute. Cingu- 

 lum cusp low, broad and ill defined. Posterior border of tooth deeply 

 emarginate. First and second molars subequal in size, the second 

 slightly narrower than first. Both are deeply emarginate posteriorly. 

 Hypocone distinct but very small, about equal to protocone of large 

 premolar. Lower incisor long and slender and although quite un- 

 worn barely turned upward at tip. The posterior border of its cingu- 

 lum extends slightly behind middle of first unicuspid. Lower uni- 

 cuspids essentially as in Dobson's figure of Myosorex joJuistoJii (Proc. 

 Zool. Soc. London, 18S7, p. 577). 



Measure?nents. — External measurements of type: total length 120; 

 head and body 58; tail 62; hind foot 13.4 (11.8) ; ear from meatus 

 8.5 ; ear from crown 5. 



Cranial measurements of type : greatest length (exclusive of inci- 

 sors) 18; palatal length 7.4; width of palate between middle molars 

 2.2.; distance between outer edges of alveoli of second molars 5 ; 

 breadth of braincase 8.4 ; mandible (without incisor) 9.8; maxillary 

 toothrowS.4; mandibular toothrow 7-8' 



Speciinen examined. — One, the type. 



Remarks. — In its long tail JMyosorex ?nuricauda differs from all 

 the previously known members of the genus except Af. sorella Thomas. 

 From this species as well as from the short-tailed forms it is distin- 

 guishable by the reduced number of upper unicuspid teeth.
