Upper incisors long, blunt, with a distinct cingulum ; outer incisors 

 minute, scarcely exceeding in vertical extent the cingulum of the inner ones, 

 placed close to their sides, and separated from the canines by a small space 

 on either side. First small premolar in the upper jaw, in the angle between 

 the closely approximated canine and second premolar, very minute, not dis- 

 tinguishable without a lens. 



The following are the measurements of two adult male specimens. The 

 measurements in the first column are those of a specimen in the Indian 

 Museum from Kajanpur, sent by Dr. W. F. Murray, Assistant Surgeon 

 3rd Panjab Cavalry, and not previously described ; the second column relates 

 to the Kachh specimen.

Besides these four species the only other bat I observed was a large 

 Pteropus, of the size of Ft. medius, Tern. ; I saw it on several occasions 

 about Bhuj, but failed to secure a specimen. 



Insectivora. 

 The only shrew which I obtained, and which is far from common, be-
