200 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. XY, 



I do not know on what authority W. L. Sclater {Cat. Mamm. Ind. 

 Mus., II, p. 17 : 1891) has given the locality China as the locality of this 

 specimen which was unknown to its clescriber. The species, however, 

 undoubtedly has the facies of the Chinese forms, and I cannot agree 

 with Mr. Bonhote that it should be considered identical with C. e. gor- 

 doni (Anderson). 



9370. Amoy, China, 1860 (R. Swinhoe) [C] ; skin and skull. 



7370-1. Foochow, China, April, 1892 (R. Rickett) [C] ; skins and skulls. 



These last three specimens are all rather richer coloured specimens 

 than the type, probably to be accounted for by the age of the former, 

 and have the median ventral stripe less in evidence, though this has been 

 possibly obscured in skinning.
