This is most probably hodgsoni with the description of which it agrees 

 well enough so far as size and locality go. The colour does not in the 

 least fit in, but then the description was probably based on a spirit speci- 

 men, and in any case we do not know to what extent colour has any 

 diagnostic value in this group.

" Trapped in dense jungle near a stream. Probably fairly common in 

 the hills where there is heavy forest, though owing to its predilection for 

 dense cover it is not often observed. I doubt whether it strays to any 

 extent, much below the foothills and Terai." — C.A.C.

 pecimen from Gangotri in Kumaon.
