198 TWO UNDESCRIBED SHREWS, 
The dentition presents nothing peculiar, Peters’ descript- 
ion being very good applicable to it. Upperparts of a dark 
sooty color, underparts somewhat lighter; I fail to dis- 
cover difference in color between upper- and underpart 
of tail. The animal has been captured on Mount Pangerango, 
November 29, 1908. 
Crocidura melanorhyncha, u. sp. 
In Weber’s Zoologische Ergebnisse, 1890—91, Bd. I, 
p. 124, I described a new Shrew, Crocidura brevicauda, after 
a specimen procured by Weber at Tjibodas, Sindanglaja, 
to the eastward of the Pangerango, the locality of our 
new species. The latter is somewhat smaller than Cr. bre- 
vicauda, moreover Cr. melanorhyncha — as the name indi- 
cates — is distinguished at once by its black muzzle.

I cannot see any difference in the dentition between the 
two species; at all events they are too minute to describe. 
Generally our species is much darker colored than bre- 
vicauda, very striking, however, is the black-haired muzzle 
of our three specimens. 
They have been captured at the Pangerango (3000 feet), 
Java, October 23, 1904; November 25, 1904 (the type- 
specimen) and July 10, 1908.
