G56 Mr. O. Thomas on Mammals from 



named T. edithoi, in lioiiour of Mrs. Steplienson Clarke. 

 And there is a very distinct new species of Pika — Ochotoua 

 forresii.

Most nearly allied to C. dracula^ Thos., from Southern 

 Yunnan, with which it shares the general proportions and 

 the dull bluey-grey colour. But the size is still larger {dracula 

 differing from attenuata, M.-Edw., by greater size), and the 

 colour is less suffused and shaded by the blackish ends of the 

 hairs. General colour of upper surface nearest to '' deep 

 neutral grey," of lower surface scarcely paler. Hands and 

 feet dull whitish. Tail slender, with but very few bristle- 

 liairs, sometimes white, as it nearly always is in dracula. 



Skull longer than in dracula^ and markedly broader across 

 the brain-case. Teeth larger. 



Dimensions of the type (measured in flesh) : — 



Head and body 14 mm.; tail 70; hind foot 17. 



Skull: condylo-incisive length 24'1 ; greatest breadth 11; 

 upper tooth-series 10*8. 



IJah, Li-kiang Valley. 9500'. 



Type. Adult male. B.M. no. 23.4.1.13. Original 

 nun)ber 2653. Collected 21st September, 1922.

No doubt the representative in the Li-kiang Range of the 

 C. dracida of S. Yunnan, but distinguished by larger size. 

 The type-skull of di^acida was accidentally said to be 24 mm. 

 in condylo-incisive length, })ut is really only 23*3.
