 Guzerat ; Salendra, Mahrathi ; Yed, Canarese ; Yeddu-pandi, Ta- 

 mil ; Heetava, Cingalese. 



Distribution. — India from Sind and the Himalayas southwards 

 to Ceylon ; Baluchistan ; eastwards not extending to Lower Bengal. 



The Baluchistan skull (c.f. Blanford's Persia) seems to agree 

 much better with the Indian skulls than with that of H. cristata, 

 of which however there is only one specimen in the Museum, the 

 skull of which exactly agrees with the skull of H, cristata as 

 figured in Waterhouse's Mammalia, being distinguished from H. 

 leucura by its posteriorly broadened nasals and by its much 

 narrower nasal process of the premaxillae.
