MAiMMAL SURVEY OF INDIA. 47 



Specimens of Moiise Deer were heard of but not obtained. 

 Very little is known of the distribution of the Tree Shrews 

 (^T'UiKda) . Blanford only recognises one species the type locality 

 of which is the Coromandel Coast. The British Museum has some 

 specimens from Guzerath which, it is understood, Mr. Lyon of 

 the Washington Museum, U. S. A., who is monographing the 

 Genus, proposes to separate specifically, if not generically, from 

 T. ellioti — but the whole country between these two points has so 

 far yielded no Tuixda. Mr. Crump writes ; "An unstriped 

 squirrel, about the size of a Palm squirrel, is reported from the 

 Alopalli Range." This is almost certainly a Tuixtia. 



A series of Hares has been obtained from the Mahadeo Hills, 

 which proves to be different from L. simcoxi, the ordinary hare of 

 this area. This hare has been described (antea p. 5) under the 

 name of L. maluideva. 



We venture to point out the following three directions in which 

 Members may render valuable assistance by furnishing the 

 Honorary Secretary of the Soceity with notes, accompanied 

 wherever possible by specimens, viz : — 



1. Records of the existence of hedgehogs in (a) the area 



between Rajpootana and the Carnatic, (IS) the Himalayas. 



2. Records of the existence of Tree Shrews anyv-here. 



3. Records of the Hares to be found between the Godavery 



River and the Carnatic.

Audebert's Plate is quite recognizable, which is more than can be said 

 for Wagner's. The date of publication of this latter cannot be exactly- 

 fixed, lying between 1792 and 1802. The name rhesus has always been 

 used and must be given the benefit of the doubt over erythrcea. Both, as 

 well as oinops, evidently refer to the same animal. 



Presbytis extelltjs, Dufr.

These specimens do not seem to differ in any way from those obtained 

 earlier by Mr. Crump.
