394 On the Races of Dremomj^s peryni. 



Altbougli none of our specimens liave white eni'-patclies, T 

 have seen enougli examples of this particular variation in the 

 genus Dremomys to feel sure that Mr. Grlover Allen's type 

 belonged to the same form as those obtained at Ichang for 

 Mr. Styan. 



6. Dremomys pernyi chintalis, subsp. n. 



General colour paler than in senex — in fact, of very much 

 the same more drabby brown as in D. p. modestus, — but the 

 ear-patches large and strongly contrasted. Under surface 

 wholly whitish, with scarcely a trace of buffy suffusion, the 

 area on the inner front surface of the thighs without tlie 

 strong buffy tinge so marked in senex and calidior. Ochra- 

 ceous area round anus smaller and less conspicuous than 

 usual. 



Skull small, scarcely larger than that oi favior. 



Dimensions of skull : — 



Greatest length 49'5 mm.; condylo-incisive length 43; 

 facial length 24*8 ; brain-case length 26'2; upper tooth-row 

 without p^ 7-4. 



Hob. Chin-teh (also written Tsing-to), An-li\vei. 



Type. Adult female. B.M. no. 99. 3. 9. 12. Collected 

 29th October, 1896. Presented, with five other specimens, 

 by F. W. Styan, Esq., to whom_, as in other cases, the 

 National Museum is indebted for much of its most interesting 

 Chinese material. 



This, one of the brown eastern races of pernyf, is distin- 

 guishable by its small size, pale colour, and tlie absence of 

 the prominent buffy patches in front of the thighs. 



7. Dremomys pernyi calidior ^ subsp. n. 



General characters very much as in D. p. senex, but the 

 upper colour a much warmer brown, approaching " olive- 

 brown." Ear-patches mixed white and ociiraceous, the bases 

 of the hairs white and their tips ociiraceous. Under surface 

 whitish, but ordinarily with well-marked bufty thigh-patches. 



Skull-dimensions of the type : — 



Greatest length 51"5 mm. ; condylo-incisive length 44"3 ; 

 facial length 25*8 ; length of brain-case 26*3 ; upper tooth- 

 series exclusive of jt>^ 8*2. 



Hah. Kuatun, N.W. Fokien. 



Type. Young adult male. B.M. no. 99. 3. 9. 17. Col- 

 lected and presented by F. W. Styan, Esq. Sixteen speci-
