 § 1, Chuntang ; S 1> Lachen. 



Hodgson's macrurus is a nomen nudum, and though I have made a con- 

 siderable search I have been unable to find any reference to this animal 

 earlier than Blanford's Mammalia, which must consequently stand as the 

 authority for the name. 



This is the smallest of the three species obtained by Mr. Crump and is 

 characterised by its long tail which is one and-a-half times as long as the 

 bead and bodj'- combined. 



" Trapped on steep rocky banks. Mammse 6, the anterior pair much
