APPENDIX. 



Page 56, No. 74. Sorex Tytleri. — This is a well-marked species. It 

 is tlie common Musk-rat of Deyra, with a very strong musky odour. 



Page 69, No. 89. Ursus isabellinus. — I see that Dr. Gray, in a 

 revision of the species of this family in the Proc. Zool. Soc, keeps isabel- 

 linus of the Himalayas distinct from U. syriacus, as well as from U.arctos. 



Page 83. Gen. Mustela. Dr. Gray, in a late revision of the family, 

 classes the Indian species of Mustela under the genera Vison and Gyiii- 

 nopus. In the former group, he places 97, M. hemachalana and M. Hors- 

 fieldii ; and under Gymnopus, M. Icathiah and M. strigidorsa. I may 

 mention here that the first-named species, M. hemachalana, is called 

 Kran or Gra7i in Kashmir. 



Page 88, No. 101. Lutra vulgaris. — Dr. Gray makes L. monticola, 

 Hodgson, distinct from vulgaris, but states that the British Museum 

 specimen, on which he founds this opinion, is in a bad state. He has 

 also another species, Barangia nipalensis, founded on a skull sent as 

 that of Hodgson's L. monticola. His genus Barangia comprises Otters 

 with hairy muzzle, rather long toes, and rudimentary claws, and is founded 

 on L. Barang of the Malayan isles. 



Gray also indicates, but without any description, Lutra Kutab, HUgel, 

 from Kashmir, which I regret to say I have not been able to procure, 

 and there is no specimen of it in the British Museum. 



Page 89, No. 102. Lutra leptonyx is given by Gray as Aonyx indi- 

 gitata, Hodgson ; but he allows that the British Museum specimen is 

 very imperfect. 



Page 92. The Lion has quite recently been killed as far east as the 

 Allahabad and Jubbulpore road. 



Page 102, No. 107. Felis Diardi. — Blyth has recently changed his 

 opinion about this leopard, and now states that he considers the Hima- 

 layan race distinct from F. Diardi vel macrocelis of Malayana. It will 

 probably stand as F. nebulosa.
