bu%. Dimensions of the tj^De, measured in flesh. : — 

 Head and body, 72 mm., tail 102, hind foot 19, ear 14. 



Skull, see table below. 



Habitat. — Kumaon. Type from Ramnagar, 1,100'. 



Ty2Je. — Adult male. B. M. No. 14. 12. 1. 2. Original number 

 4,050. Collected 5th December 1913 by C. A. Crump. Eight 

 specimens, all from Ramnagar. 



The teeth range from 3-2 to 3-4 mm. in length, and therefore 

 touch the lower limit of the larger forms (^lilagirica group) , but 

 there can be no doubt that the real relationship of this animal is 

 with oleracea, of which it forms a duller coloured local race. 



Vandeleuria rubida, sp. n. 



Size comparatively large, nearly equalling V. nilagirica. General 

 colour above bright rich rufous (tawny of Ridgway) very much as 

 in the more Eastern V. dumeticnla. Sides paler, edged with a 

 narrow tawny line. Under surface white, inconspicuously sufius- 

 -ed with fulvous on the belly. Ears dark brown. Hands and feet 

 buffy. Tail uniformly brown. 



Skull large, strongly built, supra-orbital edges square. 



Dimensions of the type, measured in the flesh : — 



Head and body 78 mm., tail 124, hind foot 18-5,. 

 ear 15. 



Skull, see table below. 



Habitat. — Kiimaon. Type from Bageswar, 3,200'. 



Type. — Adult female. B. M. No. 14. 12. 1. 3. Original number- 

 3,800. Collected 30th September 1913 by 0. A. Crump. 



This beautiful species difiers from the large western V. nilagirica 

 by its bright reddish coloration, and from the red eastern 

 V. dumeticola by its larger size. 



A specimen from Ceylon, collected by Mr. E. E. Green, is- 

 apparently not distinguishable from the tjrpe. 



Vandeleuria sibylla, sp. n. 



A very small species, allied to V. dumeticola, but stik. 

 smaller. 



Form slender, hands and feet markedly less stout than in the 

 Indian species. General colom- apparently dark rufous, probably 

 about as in V. dumeticola, but not exactly definable on the spirit 

 specimen. 



Skull small (see dimensions), the brain-case markedly narrower 

 and less swollen than in dumeticola. Palatal foramina comparative- 

 ly short. Molars smallest of the genus.
