SCIENTIFIC RESULTS FROM THE MAMMAL SURVEY. 611 



A> mm. Coloiir above dark sepia brown, darker than in Ridgway ; 

 extreme tips of dorsal hairs white, giving an inconspicuous hoary 

 powdered effect. Undersnrface pale brown, becoming greyer on 

 belly and gTeyish-white in ingaiinal region. Ears rather short, not 

 quite reaching the tip of the nose when laid forward ; their inner 

 margin evenly convex, outer slightly concave above, convex below, 

 with a small outer basal lobe. Tragus not long, its inner margin 

 straight, its tip rounded, outer margin convex, with well marked 

 outer basal lobule. Wings to the side of the metatarsus about 

 halfway between ankle and base of the toes. Length of foot going 

 about once-and-a-half in that of the tibia. Calcar fairly long with 

 well-defined tip, practically no postcalcarial lobe. 



Skull very similar to that of L. horsfieldi, but larger throughout, 

 and the brain case more inflated in the frontal region. Middle up- 

 per premolar about two-thirds the size in cross-section of the 

 anterior one, slightly drawn inwards, but not completely invisible 

 from the outside. Below, the corresponding tooth is three-foui-ths 

 the size of p\ and stands quite in the tooth-row.

Head and body 55 ; tail 37 ; ear (inner margin) 13 ; tragus on 

 inner margin 5-5 ; tibia 16 ; hind foot 10*5, calcar 14"6. 



ffa&.— Poona, Bombay. Alt. 2,000'. 



Type — An adult female; skin, B, M, No, 0. 9, 16, 1. Original 

 Number 181. Collected 17th August 1900 by R. 0. Wroughton. 

 Another female in spirit. 



This species is representative of and closely allied to the Javan 

 horsfieldi, Temm., but is browner, more heavily built, with thicker 

 limbs and larger skull. I have been able to compare it with the 

 very fine series of horsfieldi, obtained at Tasikmalaja, Java, by 

 Mr. Shortridge during the Balston Expedition, Bornean specimens 

 which may be considered as representing L. carimatce, Miller, have 

 the skull more like that of L. peshwa, but have markedly shorter 

 fur. 



Leuconoe taiwanensis, Arnb, Chr, L. 



A specimen recently obtained from Lake Palti, Tibet, proves 

 quite similar to two co-types of the above Leuconoe from 

 Formosa. 



Lake Palti is comparatively so near the Indian frontier that I 

 think it advisable to include the species in these notes.
