RESULTS FROM THE MAMMAL SURVEY. 651 



Ganis indicus Jiola, subsp nov. 



A pale race of indicus proper. 



Fur and under tur as in indicus. The pattern of the back is as in 

 indicits, an in-egnlar splashing of black on the ground colour, but 

 this latter is much paler, the rings on the individual hairs, which go 

 to compose it, being at most a slightly buffy white. Limbs pale 

 •' ochraceous bnff." Otherwise the colouring as in true indicus. 



Dimensions of the type : — Head and body, 705 ; tail, 240 ; 

 liindfoot, 156 ; ear, 70. Skull: — Greatest length, 156 ; condylo- 

 basal length, 147; palatilar length, 75; zygomatic breadth, 83; 

 back of molar tooth row to front of carnassial, 32 ; carnassial 

 16; back of first molar to front of canine, 60. 



liab. — Rajputana, Cutch, Kathiawar, Khaiidesh, Central Pro- 

 vinces, &c. Type from Palanpur. 



Tifpe. — Adult female. B.M. No. 16.4.16.12. Original number 

 3165. Collected by Mr. C. A. Crump on 22nd April 1913, and 

 presented to the National Collection by the Bombay Natural 

 History Society. 



I have carefully compared nearly fifty specimens collected by 

 j\Ir. Crump from the localities quoted above. There is some slight 

 variation, 6.(j., Rajputana specimens are tinged with yellow, &c., 

 but on the whole the contrast with the black and tan colouring of 

 true indicus is very striking. The Sind specimens, as was to be 

 expected, approach very closely to this form, but on comparing 

 them with a very old specimen from Seistan, I decided that it would 

 be wiser to put them aside until we have material for comparison 

 from Baluchistan and beyond. 



Ganis naria, sp. n, 



A species about the same size as indicus, but differing entirely in 

 its colour pattern, which is black and white grizzled. Fur of 

 medium length (50 on the back), but little longer than the under- 

 fur. General colour on the back a coarse grizzle of black and white 

 (or a black ground colour ticked with white), the individual hairs 

 black with a short subterminal ring (less than 10 mm.), and a black 

 tip about the same length, on the flanks the black tips are shorter 

 and white preponderates in the grizzle, face the same pattern as the 

 back, but the grizzle very fine and becoming tinged with tawny 

 anteriorly. Chin white, the colouring of the flanks and sides of 

 throat extended downwards to form a collar. Behind the forelegs 

 the colouring of the flanks extends downwards to the abdomen. 

 The colouring of the flanks extends backwards over the thighs, 

 below this the hindlegs (and the forelegs below the knee) are a 

 bright tan.
