tion of specimens preserved in alcohol) is very similar in 

 length and in colour to that of that species ; the lateral gland 

 is as well developed as in the males of 0. Horsfieldii, perhaps 

 somewhat larger, in the single female available for examina- 

 tion (which is, however, not quite full-grown) there is no trace 

 of one. 



Fur above reddish brown, beneath greyish brown, the basal 

 three fourths of the hairs somewhat slaty. Skull much larger 

 than that of C. Horsjieldii ; teeth (see my ' Monograph of 

 the Insectivora,' part iii. fasc. 1, pi. xxviii. fig. 11) like those 

 of that species, the last upper incisor nearly equal to the 

 anterior maxillary tooth in vertical extent, but less than it in 

 cross section. 



Length (of an adult male, the type) : head and body 68 

 millim., tail 51, ear 10, elbow to end of middle digit (without 

 claw) 18, manus (without claws) 8, pes (without claws) 13^.

I name this species in memory of the late Dr. J. E. Gray, 

 F.R.S., of the British Museum. 



Crocidura Petersii. 

 Slightly larger than G. Doriana, resembling that species in 

 the peculiar position of the lateral gland, but differing from it 

 in the form of the teeth and in the much greater length of the 

 foot. The measurements of the skull are different (see below) 

 and much greater than those of fully adult specimens of G. 

 Doriana, although the specimen from which this description 

 is taken is not full-grown, thus indicating a much larger 

 species ; the bones of the skull also are much thicker, very 

 unlike the diaphanous skull of G. Doriana. 



Ears short and clothed with short hairs only ; the tail is 

 thinly covered with very short hairs, but comparatively plen- 

 tifully set with long brown hairs, which extend along three 

 fourths its length ; the fur on the back is reddish brown, 

 beneath ashy with a brownish tinge. 



The anterior cusp of the first upper incisor extends far 

 beneath the posterior basal cusp ; the latter is very peculiarly 

 shaped (see ' Monograjih of the Insectivora,' pt. iii. fasc. 1, 

 pi. xxviii. fig. 17), its anterior margin is absolutely straight, 

 and its cusp is well developed; the anterior maxillary tootli is 

 larger than the third incisor in cross section and equals it in 

 vertical extent. 



The following are the measurements of the type, a not quite 

 full-grown male specimen : — 



Length : head and body 92 millim., vent to tip of tail 52, 

 ear 9, elbow to end of middle digit (without claw) 24, manus
