The other Shrews hitherto recorded from Sumatra are the following 

 species : 



Pachyura indica Geoffroy, P. sumatrana Peters, Crocidura neglecta 

 Jentink , Cr. paradoxura Dobson , Cr. beccarii Dobson and Cr. brunnea 

 Jentink (cf. Notes from the Leyden Museum, 1888, p. 163). 



Crocidura orientalis n. sp. 



Java: Tjibodas near Sindanglaja; one adult specimen (275a). 



Für generally longer than in Cr. weberi, distribution of color like 

 in that species. Tail slender with short black hairs; I fail to detect 

 longer hairs as there are almost on the basal part of the tail. 



Upper jaw: anterior hook of the first incisor on the same level 

 with the first molar; posterior hook agrees in height with the fourth 

 unicuspidate ; third unicuspidate somewhat smaller ; second about twice 

 the fourth unicuspidate. 



Lower jaw : first incisor without denticulations ; second unicuspidate 

 about as high as the fourth upper one; third about as high as the 

 second upper unicuspidate. 



All the teeth are white. 



Measurements of the type-specimen in alcohol: 



Head and body Mm. 75 



Tail „70 



Ear „ 6.5 



Hind foot „ 15.5 



Crocidura brevicauda n. sp. 



Java: Tjibodas near Sindanglaja; one adult specimen (2756). 



Its larger size, shorter tail and shorter, less dark colored für dis- 

 tiuguish this species from Crocidura orientalis.
