9773-6. inim. Western side of Western Ghats, Travancore (Dr. N. Annandale) 

 [C] ; skins snd skulls. 



We are rather doubtful about the validity of this subspecies, which 

 would appear to be confined to the western side of the Western Ghats, 

 as specimens from Shencottah on the eastern side are richer in colour 

 and smaller and agree closely with typical specimens from Madras. 



We have, however, listed them under Wroughton "s name as the 

 largest specimen has a maximum skull length of 42 mm.
