408 On the Genus Tatera. 



proportionally very long tail. The upper molars are fairly 

 stout, but the incisors are much narroAver than in any Asian 

 form that I have seen except ceylonica.

This species differs from treniura in hardly anything but 

 size ; in detail of colouring I can detect but the very smallest 

 differences ; the white patches on the face are rather more 

 marked in this species, forming an indistinct but continuous 

 line of pale colouring from the sides of the muzzle, over the 

 eyes, to the base of the ears. Its consistently smaller size 

 in all details, however, and the fact that the type specimen 

 was taken at the same time and place as the specimens which 

 I have identified as taeniura, from which it is clearly distinct, 

 has determined me to give it a specific name. 



The following are some measurements : —

The same size as Bailwardi, of which it is apparently a 

 high-level form. Ground-colour much less rufous than in 

 that species, giving it a soberer general coloration. The 

 skull very broad and much stouter and the bullae markedly 

 larger. The following are the dimensions : — 



Head and body 164 mm.; tail 177; hind foot 39; ear 28.
