658 Mr. 0. Thomas on Mammals from 



there by Prof. Matscliie, whose nearest locality is Chung- 

 king, on the middle Yang-tse, whence he has described 

 J^ . stegmaiii. 



This animal appears to be distinguishable from the other 

 members of the genus by its parallel instead of widely 

 expanded zygomata. 



9. Ailurus styani, Thos. 

 J. 2786; ?. 2787,2788 (yg.). 11,000'. 



10. Charronia flavigula^ Bodd. 

 Not represented in the second collection. 



11. Lutreola sihirica moupinensis, M.-Edvv. 

 c^.2683; $.2682. N.W. Flank. 11,000-14,000'. 



12. Arctonyx ohscinniSj M.-Edw. 

 S . 2785. N.W. Flank. 9000-10,000'. 



13. Petaiirista xa^itliotls^ M.-Edw. 



(^. 2794, 2795 ; ? . 2793. _ 10,000-11,000'. 



This fine animal, which is distinguishable from Mr. Forrest^s 

 previous discovery, P. ciarkei, by its larger size and blackisii 

 feet, was supposed by Milne-Edwards to be " only a variety " 

 of his P. melanopterusy and he did not apparently realize 

 that in stating that the animal " had been placed in the 

 public gallery under the name of P. xantliotis^'* he was 

 founding a new name for it. The name, however, clearly 

 stands, and would certainly seem to be referable to the 

 present species, whicli forms a new and striking addition to 

 our collections. The original locality of xanthotis was only 

 recorded as "Tibet/"' but was in all probability Mu-pin, 

 Sze-chwan, as with other mammals obtained by P^re David. 



14. Bylopetes alboniger, Hodgs. 

 S. 2790 ; ? . 2791. N.W. Flank. 11,000'. 



15. Trogopterus edithce, sp. n. 



^.2792. N.W. Flank. 11,000'. 



A grey species, less yellow than in the other forms, with 

 comparatively dark-coloured hands and feet.
