Type:— old male, B. M. No. 11, 10, 18, 1. Collected on 20th 

 July 191 1 by Mr. Crump, and presented to the National Collection 

 by the Bombay Natural History Society. 



Mr. Crump obtained over a score of specimens of this fine new 

 species. At first I Avas startled by the discovery of such a long 

 tailed animal in a treeless country like Cutch, but Mr. Crump 

 notes that the specimens were taken amongst rocks so the adapta- 

 tion is to rock and not tree climbing. In reference to this I have 

 chosen the Generic name from the Greek ' cremnos ' meaning a 

 rocky scarp. I have much pleasure in naming the species cutchicus 

 in honour of H. H. the Rao Kenghaji of Cutch, who takes such a 

 keen and intelligent interest in Zoology and who has specially in- 

 terested himself in the Mammal Survey of the Society.
