stnnky rrroy tlian citlier of the other two members of Dorco- 

 psiilits, its fur is much longer than that of madeayl, rather 

 l()iin;er than that of vanheurui, its nasals are less projected 

 backwards, and its secator is comparatively short. I have 

 named it in honour of Lord Rothschild, to whom the National 

 Museum is indebted for the fine series of specimens in which 

 it occurs.

Tills represents Prof. Foerster's '* Pseudochirus vulpecula,^' 

 which he described as " eine kleiner Art aus der alhertin- 

 -Gruppe," of that very different genus, the young specimen,

 surface white, the hairs white to the roots. The dorsal colour 

 is, however, rather darker than in cannelitcB without being of

 well marked. 



Teeth as in carmelitcp, the small jiremolar between the
