though it appears to be the latter. The length from the base of the 

 outer margin is about 12.5 mm., which is practically the same length 

 as in S. concolor. 



The tail is approximately of the same length in <S'. Jiavus and S. con- 

 color-, or about one-half longer than the head and body. This propor- 

 tion is much exceeded in S. leathemi, which has the tail one and fonr- 

 tiftbs times the length of the head and body. 



Dr. Abbott's two specimens were obtained in central Kashmir, at an 

 elev^atiou of 11,000 feet, in July, 1891, about a year earlier than the 

 types of *S'. leathemi were collected. To Dr. Abbott, therefore, is due 

 the first discovery of representatives of this interesting genus in British 

 India.
