The skull of this species is moderately elongated, with the upper' front 

 incisors close together anteriorly, but not touching, and there is a well de- 

 fined tubercle on the inside of the posterior portion of the teeth which 

 is narrow, sharp and conical. The second incisor is large and equals the 

 third incisor and canine, the former being somewhat smaller than the 

 latter. The anterior cusp on the first molar is sharply defined but wholly 

 developed from the cingulum. There is a marked tubercle on the outer 

 margin of the lower incisor and anterior to the middle.

The female which yielded this skull had her uterus enlarged, whilst 

 the basi-occipital suture was perfectly intact, and her teeth surfaces 

 un ground. 



This species was discovered by Mr. S. E. Peal, Sibsagar, Assam, but 

 the Museum has since obtained specimens from Purniah, CharajDiinji, and 

 the Garo Hills.
