these desert representatives of Mungos muncjo and Millardia oneltada, 

 and Blanford's name of tvatsoni has been revived to separate sub- 

 specifically the jrellow variety of Golunda elUoti; these three north- 

 ern forms are all conspicuously lighter and paler in colour than 

 those from further south. Palanpur has also produced a new sub- 

 species of Muntjos auropunctatus and of Vandeleuria oleracea ; a de- 

 scription of these new varieties will be found under "the Scientific 

 Eesults of the Survey." This is the first time that Gerhillus gleadovi 

 has been obtained during the Survey. One more specimen of Hi])- 

 posideros brachyotis has been taken ; this is evidently an uncommon 

 bat, as only one has previously come in. It is satisfactory receiv- 

 ing a series of nine Leggada yhillipsi, which was described from 

 the Berars, as only three specimens were collected before. In the 

 Mus hooduga group the Palanpur series are of the typical drab 

 colour characteristic of the Mus dunni, while those from the more 

 wooded country round Danta agree better with the usual variety of 

 M. hooduga, and in the case of Gremnomys culchicus, Tatera indica 

 and Meriones hurriannce the Danta examples are all of a richer 

 deeper shade than the desert specimens.
