74 J. Scully — On a Collection of Mamojials and [No. 1, 



squamosal along the lower margin, a square process from tlie malar 

 interposing itself and forming the lower edge of the arch for a length of 

 1'5 mm. 



The skull differs from that of E. fuscocapiUus in having the nasal 

 portion shorter, the distance from anterior root of zygoma to symphysis 

 of premaxillaries being 15 mm. in E. fuscocapiUus against 12 mm. in the 

 present species ; the zygomatic arch is quite differently shaped, being 

 higher throughout, and the malar bone forms part of the lower margin, 

 ■while in E. fuscocapiUus the maxillary and squamosal processes meet 

 along the lower margin, so as to exclude the malar ; and the anterior 

 palatine foramina are much smaller and narrower. 



From E. talpimis, the skull of the present species differs completely 

 in the shape of the nasals and in the extension backwards of the end of 

 the premaxillae ; the shape of the zygoma presents even a greater diver- 

 gence than from E. fuscocapiUus, but the arrangement of the bones in the 

 arch are closely similar in E. talpinus and E. intermedius ; the anterior 

 palatine foramina are very much smaller than in E. talpinus, and there 

 are other differences which will be apparent on studying Mr. Blanford's 

 very clear account of the contrast between the skulls of E. fuscocapiUus 

 and E. talpinus in J. A. S. B., vol. L, pt. II, 1884, pp. 122 -123. 



Teeth. The incisors are very long and pure china-white. The

and^ do not differ from the corresponding teeth in E.fus- 



cocapillus and E. talpinus in any important particular. ~ differs 



markedly from the corresponding tooth in E. fuscocapiUus and resembles 

 that of E. talpinus in wanting a posterior lobe behind the hindmost 

 outer angle ; both the internal angles too are less prominent in the 

 present species, the last angle being much rounded. 



In the anterior lobe is less developed than in E. fuscocapiUus,

but still there are 4 external and 5 internal angles, not 3 and 4 as in 

 E. talpinus.
