Nycticebus Bengalensis, Geoff. 



Cheiroptera. 



Pteropus, Briss. 



Molossus, Geoff. 



Rhinolophus, Geoff. 



Vespertilio, Geoff. 



Species of these genera are abundant in the Tarai ; but there are 

 few in the central region, and fewer still in the northern. One 

 species of Rhinolophus and three of Vespertilio harbour in out- 

 houses in the central region ; and one species of Pteropus, of a 

 smaller size and duller colour than the Pter. medius, Temm., of the 

 plains, appears in troops in the autumn to plunder the gardens of 

 the ripe pears. 



PlANTIGRADA. 



Talpa, Linn. This genus is found only in the Kachar. 



Sorex Indicus, Geoff. A dull slaty blue variety of this species 

 is found only in the lower and central regions. 



Prochilus lahiatus. 111., 



Helarctos Malay anus, Horsf., 

 are found in the Tarai. 



Ursus isabellinus, Horsf., 



Ursus Thibetanus, F. Cuv., 

 occur in the central and northern regions. 



Gulo orientalis, Horsf. Lower region. 



Ratelus mellivorus, Ston-. In the lower region and also in the 

 proximate part of the central tract. 



Ailu7-us fulgens, F. Cuv., 



Ictides albifrons, Val., 

 belong to the Kachar, though they occasionally occur in the central 

 region. 



Paradoxurus, F. Cuv. Of this genus an undescribed species, co- 

 loured, especially in youth, like Mustela flavigula, Bodd., is found 

 in the central region. A second species, perhaps the Par. Bandar, 

 Gray, occurs in the Tarai. 



DiGITIGRADA. 



Viverra undulata, Gray, ? Common in the central region. 



Viverra Rasse, Horsf., 



Viverra Indica, Geoff., 

 are common in the Tar§,i. 



Herpestes griseus, F. Cuv., occurs in the lower region; and a 

 second species, apparently undescribed, of a somewhat smaller size 

 and darker duller grey colour, is found in the central region.
