ALLEN: MAMMALIA. 239 
ARCTONYX LEUCOLAIMUS Milne Edwards. 
A trade skin, probably from Hupeh, is in the collection. 
URSIDAE. 
AILURUS FULGENS STYANI Thomas. 
A fine male skin, unfortunately without skull, from the Chinchiang Valley, 
western Szechwan, represents this race, recently described from Yanglinpa 
in the northwestern part of the same province. The collector’s measure of 
the foot is 125 mm.; Thomas gives 112 for the foot without claws. 
URSUS THIBETANUS MACNEILLI (Lydekker). 
The black bear of eastern Tibet has recently been described by Lydekker 
(1909) as a distinct race with a longer pelage and different skull as compared 
with its nearest geographic representatives of the Indian Himalayas. The 
skull is actually and proportionally broader, the palate is narrower and dis- 
tinctly vaulted, instead of plane, and the third lower molar is narrower. The 
type is a skin and skull from Tachien, eastern Tibet, and the describer mentions 
also a female skull from Szechwan, in the collection of the British Museum. Mr. 
Zappey secured an adult skull somewhere near the eastern border of Szechwan 
which bears out the characters claimed for this subspecies. The palate is narrow 
and slightly vaulted and corresponds closely in measurements with those given 
for the type. The dimensions follow, together with those published for the 
type specimen in parentheses (here reduced to millimeters) :— basal length, 
264 (251.5); zygomatic breadth, 197 (170.2); length of three last upper cheek 
teeth, 64 (54.1); last upper molar, length, 29.2 (24.9); width, 15.5 (15.2); length 
of three last lower cheek teeth, 59.2 (55.4); last lower molar, length, 17 (15.5); 
width, 12.4 (10.7); length of penultimate lower molar, 21.6 (20.3). Our speci- 
men is probably a male. 
TALPIDAE. 
Uropsitus soricires Milne Edwards. 
This species was described from specimens collected by Pére David in the 
principality of Moupin, and has been recorded by Pousargues (1896, p. 1) from 
the northern part of Yiinnan. Mr. Zappey obtained a series of nine specimens
