278 J. AndersoiJ — New and little hnoivn Asiatic SJiretus. [No. 8j 



The first upper incisors of this female are longer, stronger and more 

 curved than in the adolescent male of O. hidiana, and there is no tubercle on 

 the inside of the posterior portion of the tooth which is not so sharply 

 pointed as in G. hidiana. The second incisor is also a broader and more 

 blunted tooth than in that species, and the third incisor is notably smaller 

 than the canine. The premolar is largely visible externally. The lower 

 incisors are notched in the middle, and their points are not so upwardly bent 

 as in C. hidiana.

Crocidura onurina, Andr. Journ. As. Soc. Beng. Vol. XLI, 1872, p. 223. 



Snout rather short and broad : ears moderately developed, rather flat- 

 tened above and rounded posteriorly and sparsely clad with pale-coloured hairs. 

 Feet moderately large, and tolerably well clad, with pale-coloured hairs which 

 hang over the claws which are yellow and strong. The tail equals the 

 length of the trunk and is not swollen at the base, but it is rather thick 

 throughout and somewhat abruptly tapers towards the point, and it is some- 

 what tetragonal. It is relatively well clad with short pale hairs which hide 

 the rings, and at the point the hairs form an imj^erfect pencil : long white 

 hairs are intermixed. The snout, ears, feet and tail are pale j^ellowish-brown ; 

 the tail paler on its under surface. General colour of the upper surface pale 

 fawn ; silvery gray on the under parts. 



Tip of snout to vent 1-90 ; tail 1-30 ; hind foot 0-42. 



Front upper incisors directed forwards and downwards, posterior por- 

 tion moderately developed and sharply conical, a very feeble but distinct 

 tubercle on the inside. Second incisor large, sharply pointed and nearly 

 equalling in length the first tooth, twice as broad as the third incisor 

 and canine. The premolar is very minute and wedged in between the 

 canine and first molar and is partially visible externally.
