ALLEN: MAMMALIA. 239 



ARCTONYX LEUCOLAIMUS Milne Edwards. 

 A trade skin, probably from Hupeh, is in the collection. 



URSIDAE. 



AlLURUS FULGENS STYANI Thomas. 



A fine male skin, unfortunately without skull, from the Chinchiang Valley, 

 western Szechwan, represents this race, recently described from Yanglinpa 

 in the northwestern part of the same province. The collector's measure of 

 the foot is 125 mm.; Thomas gives 112 for the foot without claws. 



URSUS THIBETANTJS MACNEiLLi (Lydekker). 



The black bear of eastern Tibet has recently been described by Lydekker 

 (1909) as a distinct race with a longer pelage and different skull as compared 

 with its nearest geographic representatives of the Indian Himalayas. The 

 skull is actually and proportionally broader, the palate is narrower and dis- 

 tinctly vaulted, instead of plane, and the third lower molar is narrower. The 

 type is a skin and skull from Tachien, eastern Tibet, and the describer mentions 

 also a female skull from Szechwan, in the collection of the British Museum. Mr. 

 Zappey secured an adult skull somewhere near the eastern border of Szechwan 

 which bears out the characters claimed for this subspecies. The palate is narrow 

 and slightly vaulted and corresponds closely in measurements with those given 

 for the type. The dimensions follow, together with those published for the 

 type specimen in parentheses (here reduced to millimeters) : basal length, 

 264 (251.5); zygomatic breadth, 197 (170.2); length of three last upper cheek 

 teeth, 64 (54.1); last upper molar, length, 29.2 (24.9); width, 15.5 (15.2); length 

 of three last lower cheek teeth, 59.2 (55.4); last lower molar, length, 17 (15.5); 

 width, 12.4 (10.7); length of penultimate lower molar, 21.6 (20.3). Our speci- 

 men is probably a male. 



TALPIDAE. 



UROPSILUS SORICIPES Milne Edwards. 



This species was described from specimens collected by Pere David in the 

 principality of Moupin, and has been recorded by Pousargues (1896, p. 1) from 

 the northern part of Yunnan. Mr. Zappey obtained a series of nine specimens.
