498 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST. SOCIETY, Vol. XXII.' 



A very small glossey dark brown shrew. Head and body abovit 2 inches 

 long, tail rather shorter. 



The specimen in alcohol, no. 2617, is slightly larger than perrotteti and 

 has a much longer tail, but for the present I am leaving it as 2^e>rotteti as 

 it comes nearest to that species ; when more material has been collected, 

 the complicated subject of the shrews will be worked out. 



''Possibly not uncommon. Mr. Graham tells me that they are well known 

 owing to their habit of falling into tanks and wells ; one specimen was 

 found drowned in a well on Haleri estate/' — G.C.S.
