i lipe. Adult female, in British Museum, no. 0. 5. 8. 1, 

 'I'liere are thne exanii)l{'s of this sptx'ies in the British 

 Museum, all females, hut agreeing in the texture and colour 

 of fur, two from Kuatun, and the third from the menagerie 

 of the Zoological Society in Regent's Park, erroneously 

 attril)uted to Cashmere. Both the Kuatun examples have 

 lost a portion of their tails, hut the third s|)ecinien has a tail 

 of normal length. In general colouring this species resembles 

 P. tclielicnsis, Milne-Edwards, = 7^. lasiotis, Gray ; but the 

 great distance intervening between the habitats, nearly the 

 entire width of China, does not permit the supposition that 

 tliey can belong to the same species. I can only regard it as 

 the coast representative of the Szcchuen species P. lusiotis, 

 of which P. tchtliensis is the female. The male of this new 

 form when obtained will probably be darker in colour.
