The type locality of pallipes is Kandahar. It is a pale form of auropunc- 

 tatus, Hodg., from Nepal. On the material available T have no hesitation in 

 separating the two, both being constant forms in their respective habitats. 

 When onr Mammal Survey is completed it may prove that the Sind fonn 

 deserves no more than subspecific rank.

If kokree, Sykes, the Dekhan form is separable from true bengalensis, 

 then geographically the present animal should be most closely allied to the 

 former but the material available for comparison is so inadequate that I am 

 not in a position to advance an opinion. A series of typical specimens from 

 Bengal is a great desideratum. 



(74) Vulpes leucopus, Blyth.

Blyth gives no exact locality for his leucopus but speaks ' of it as " the 

 small desert Fox of W. India." His description is therefore probably a 

 generalised one. The present specimens do not agree with his description 

 in several details, but nevertheless it does not seem possible that they 

 could be anything else. His ^:;w.sz7Zms from the Salt Range is apparently a 

 different animal with conspicuous black cheeks. Series of the several 

 varieties of the Fox inhabiting N.-W. India are a great desideratum and 

 until they are available it seems to me hopeless to try and unravel the 

 tangle of Blyth's leucopus, griffithi, pusillus, &c.

The type locality is Karrachi. It has not been taken again anywhere 

 since its description by Murray in 1885. Indeed the two original speci- 

 mens and the present three are so far as I know the only ones to be found 

 in any museum.

Mr. Kinnear's four specimens from Thar and Parkar are, I believe, un- 

 doubtedly dayanus. A specimen from Eajputana in the Natural History 

 Museum Collection obtained by Blanford is labelled in his own handwriting
