C haracters. — In size nearly equal to Crocidura nicoharica; gen- 
eral color, bluish gray. 
Fur. — The fur is somewhat longer and less dense than in the type 
of C. nicoharica^ that on middle of back about 8 mm. in length. This 
character is probably individual. 
Color. — Entire body and head gray (very nearly Ridgwa3^'s No. 8), 
ever3"where washed Avith broccoli brown. This wash is most notice- 
able on dorsal surface, where the effect of the two colors is drab gray. 
On underparts the brown is distinctly visil)le in some lights, scarcely 
so in others. Feet, yellowish brown ; tail and ears, dark brown. 
Skull. — The skull is in every way similar to that of Crocidura 
nicoharica, except that it is somewhat smaller. 
Teeth. — In general the teeth of Crocidura andamanensis closely 
resemble those of C. nicoharica. The unicuspids are, however, actu- 
ally as well as relatively larger, and the contrast in size between the 
second and the other two is more marked. 
MeasuremenU. — External measurements of type: Total length, 200 
mm.; head and body, 114; tail, 86; hind foot, 26 (25). 
Cranial measurements of type: Greatest length (exclusive of inci- 
sors), 25.6 mm.; basal length, 24.8; basilar length, 22; palatal length, 
11; width of palate between middle molars, 3.2; mastoid breadth, 11; 
lachrymal })readth, 6; mandible (without incisor), 15; maxillary tooth- 
row, 12; mandibular toothrow, 11. 
Specimens examined. —One, the type. 
Remarks. — This species, though closel}^ related to Crocidura nico- 
harica, appears to be well characterized l)y its smaller size, larger 
unicuspid teeth, and distinctly gray color. 
Genus SCOTOPHILUS Leach. 
SCOTOPHILUS TEMMINCKII (Horsfield). 
1863. Nycticejus iemmincku Blyth, Appendix to Mouat'a Adventures and Re- 
searches among the Andaman Islanders, p. 354 (Nicobars). 
In the Appendix to Monat's Apventures and Kesearches Blyth writes: 
"From the Nicobars have been received Ilipposideros 7?mmms (Elliot) 
2^\^ Nycticejus temm:inckii{^o\'!i^'^d) . . ." This is the only record 
of Temminck's bat from either group of islands. It was apparently 
overlooked by Blanford, who does not include either Nicobars or 
Andamans in the range of the species. 
Genus TYLONYCTERIS Peters. 
TYLONYCTERIS PACHYPUS (Temminck). 
1876. Vesperugo pachypus DoBSON , Monogr. Asiat. Chiropt., p. 210 (Andamans). 
Although they are not mentioned in the bodv of the work, Dobson 
records sixteen Andaman specimens of this bat in the catalogue of 
Chiroptera in the Indian Museum forming part of the Appendix to the
