 in Kashmir. It is from Sonamarg in that State.

URSUS ISABELLINUS, Hors field. 



I am unable to follow Blanford in uniting this species with Ursifs 

 arctos. It appears to me to present differences in the shape of the 

 skull, and also in the length of the intervals between the teeth and in the 

 shape of the last upper molar. This tooth is very long and has the 

 Ijosterior moiety directed obliquely outward.
