MAMMALS FROM BURMA 927 
rather longer, but still shorter vertically than the first molar, 
which about equals the canine in height. 
This species is distinguished from H. auratus, by its duller 
colour, shorter and simpler nasal tubes, and the proportionate 
shortness of its first lower premolar. From MH. /ewcogaster, to 
which it appears also to be allied, it differs by its smaller size, 
smaller ears, and by the different proportions of its upper in- 
cisors, that species having the inner ones decidedly longer than 
the outer.

(@) I do not by any means see the necessity of changing this word into Cerivoula 
any more than Nesokia into Nesocia, neither word being of classical derivation. 
Since we have to retain the 2 in words based on personal names, we cannot in any 
case change it throughout, and it appears to me a mere affectation of purism to 
alter names based on local or native terms which happen to contain the letter &. 
And in cases like the present, where. the change alters both the pronunciation of 
the name, and its position in alphabetical indices, the inconvenience of changing 
an old and widely-known name is at its maximum, and should not be adopted 
except for reasons far stronger than any that have as yet been brought forward in 
its favour.
