In 187b Blanford described a Golunda, collected by Mr. Watson from 

 near Kotri, Siiid, under the name of Pelomys ivatsoni ; later he included 

 this name in his synonymy of G. ellioti; however 1 am reviving the name for 

 the specimens from Cutch, Kathiawar and the present collection, which are 

 so conspicuously paler and yellower than the Southern form of Golunda, 

 that they require to be distinguished subspecincally. 



A brownish yellow rat, very finely speckled with black drab on the 

 underside. Head and body about 5 inches long ; tail about 4 inches. Of 

 a lighter, yellower shade than the ordinary Golunda ellioti which is quite 

 dark-brown with more black speckles. Weight about 2f ozs. 



'* Common in hedges, comes out to feed very early in the evening, when, 

 if approached very quietly, may be observed at a distance of a few feet, 

 Often trapped during the day-time. It is sluggish in movement and is 

 generally hunched up as if cold." — C. A. C.
