The Palanpur specimens agree with the type of M. dimni in colour, but 

 some specimens are rather large, however as the drab colour is the most 

 distinguishing characteristic I am considering them as dunni not hooduga .

These specimens taken from the more wooded country resemble 

 M. hooduga, while those from the open desert round Palanpur are all of the 

 uniform drab colour characteristic of M. dunni. The same thing occurred 

 in Kathiawar where the Junagadh specimens were dark and those from 

 Rajkot and N. E. Kathiawar, pale drab. 



" Scarce at Mount Abu. Common in hedges at Danta, very nimble and 

 pugnacious." — C. A. C.

A medium-sized rat with a very long tail. Fur very soft and fairly long, 

 brownish grey speckled with buff; white on the underside. Head and 

 body about 5 inches long, tail about an inch longer. Weight about 2f ozs. 



The Danta specimens are rather darker in colour. 



"Very abundant among the rocks at Mount Abu, occasionally trapped 

 in hedges. I observed a pair at play on a large rock when they showed 

 great activity, turning and twisting in a remarkable manner and clearly 

 demonstrating the use of such long tails which were waved over their backs 

 or from side to side for the purpose of balance. Not very abundant at 

 Danta, confined entirely to the hills." — C. A. C.
