Associated with jerdoni by Sclater is a skull with much worn 

 teeth from Darjeeling (specimen [a) of his catalogue). It most resem- 

 bles the skulls of cremoriventer and of the type of '' cimmmomeus'" 

 but is longer and relatively narrower with a rather long, pointed 

 rostrum; the incisors are orange-coloured and are just a trifle 

 more curved than those of the former. Available dimensions 

 are: — greatest length, 400; condylo-basilar length, 32"8; basilar 

 length, 30'3 ; palatilar length, 16-4; palatal foramina, 6'9X2*9; 

 diastema, lO'o; upper tooth-row (alveolar), 6*3; palatal breadth 

 between last molars, 4*3 ; posterior edge of ante-orbital foramen 

 to tip of nasals, I3'2 ; nasals r5'3X4*5; inter-orbital breadth, 60 ; 

 zygomatic breadth about i6'5 ; cranial breadth, i5'o.
