Dimensions of type. — (Figures in brackets represent a typical 

 specimen of .F. tristriatus from Kanara.) Head and body 195 (170) 

 mm.; tail 172 (147); hindfoot 46 (40) mm.; ear 18 (17). 



8hull. — Greatest length 48 (42) mm. ; condylo-incisive length 44*2 

 (37-9); Basilar-length 38-8 (33*3) ; length of upper molar series 9-5 

 (8-2); Diastema 11-6 (10-2); zygomatic breadth 26'7 (23-7); nasals 

 15-5 (13). 



In the Coorg series there are five specimens with a head and body 

 length of over 200 mm. and fifteen over 190 mm.; unfortunately 

 most of the largest skulls are too damaged to take many measure- 

 ments on them, but at least nine have a condylo-incisive length of 

 44 mm. ; this measurement on the Travancore specimens is about 

 39-5 mm. The type skull of F. tristriatus is broken, but such 

 measurements as can be taken on it, agree pretty closely with those 

 of Travancore specimens. 



Habitat. — Coorg (Srimangala). Alt. 2,782 feet. 



Type. — Old female B.M. Number 13. 8. 22. 48. Original number 

 2467, collected by G.O. Shortridge, 6th February 1913, and pre- 

 sented to the National Collection by the Bombay Natural History 

 Society. 



The fine series of 35 specimens was obtained in various parts of 

 Coorg, Mr. Shortridge collected some in S. Coorg and Mr. Graham 

 sent others from the Haleri Estate in the north. 



This Squirrel can be distinguished by its large size, the con- 

 spicuous chestnut colour of the dorsal fur and the black and white 

 appearance of its tail. 



I have much pleasure in naming it after Mr. E.. C. Wroughton 

 who has taken a great interest in these Indian Squirrels and has 

 done much towards working out their systematic arrangement. 



D. LORIS LYDEKKERIANUS, Cabr. 



Another interesting result is that Loris lydelikerianus has been 

 made a separate species from Loris tardigradus; this fact has been 

 discovered by means of the fine series of Loris obtained in Mysore 

 and Coorg. 



i]. — Notes on the Langues (Pbesbytis) of Central and 

 Southern India. 



Mr. Dollman has very kindly made a thorough examination of 

 all the Langurs received since the survey commenced. The follow- 

 ing are his notes on the subject : — 



" I have recently examined the large series of LangTirs collected 

 by Messrs. Shortridge and Crump during their work in connection 

 with the Bombay Natural History Society's Survey of the Mammals 

 of India ; the following notes may help to add to our knowledge of 

 the general characters and distribution of these Langurs.
