SCIENTIFIC RESULTS FROM THE MAMMAL SURVEY. 485 



Habitat. — Wotekolli, South Coorg, altitude 2,000 feet. 



Tfpe.—OIA female. B. M. No. 13.6.21.1 ; original No. 2202. 

 Collected by G. C. Shortridge. The adults are very constant in 

 colour, but the young present a lighter and more speckled appear- 

 ance, as they have a larger number of buff hairs and also have a 

 fawn lateral line of demarcation. The very j'^oung are dark, ashj^ 

 grey, all over, and as they grow the fawn colour commences on the 

 shoulders and gradually extends down the back. 



I have pleasure in naming this species after Mr. J. A. Graham, 

 who helped the survey most materially by, himself, collectin'g 100 

 specimens in North Coorg. 



Leggada hannyngtoni, sp. n. 



The Coorg lowland S^ny-Mouse. 



A Leggada exactly like the last species in general colour, but 

 with a pure white undersurface and a larger hind foot. 



General colour dark -brown, speckled with some buff. 



Fur composed of grey spines with dark tips, intermixed with 

 hairs tipped with buff. Undersurface composed of pure white 

 spines and hairs with a distinct line of demarcation ; feet white, 

 tail dark-brown above and paler below, thinly covered with hairs. 



Mammary formula 3 — 2 = 10. 



Skull like that of grahami in all its characters. 



Dimensions of type (measured in the flesh). — Head and body 

 120 (average of five specimens 110) ; tail 88 ; hindfoot 22-5 ; 

 ear 17"5. 



Skull. — Condylo-incisive length 29 ; basilar lengih 25 ; zygoma- 

 tic breadth 15 ; nasals 12 ; diastema 9 ; upper moral series 5. 



(The above measurements were taken on a very old specimen, the 

 others being either young or having broken skulls, so that the 

 dimensions given may be rather above the average.) 



Habitat. — Makut, South Coorg; altitude 250 feet (below Ghats.) 



Ty2ye.— Old female. B. M. No. 13.6.21.2; original No. 2297. 

 Collected by G. C. Shortridge, 12th January 1913, and presented to 

 the National Collection by the Bombay Natural History Society. 



Mr. Shortridge obtained 5 specimens of this mouse, but unfortu- 

 nately the skulls were all damaged except two. 



I have named this species after Mr. F. Hannyngton, I.C.S., a 

 member of the Society, whose keenness and assistance helped 

 Mr. Shortridge in obtaining such good results in Coorg. 



B. — Eatufa. 



The fine series of Giant Squirrels received in this collection ai-e 

 of remarkable interest and add very materially to our knowledge of 

 the group. As indicated by Mr. Shortridge in his field notes, thej"
