10S W. T. Blanford— O/i the Mammalia of [No. 2, 



In colour this species approaches A. russatus of Radde, but that is 

 said to have the tail tawny above, and the teeth are described as very 

 different. The last upper molar in A. Stoliczlcanus is peculiarly formed, the 

 anterior portion having two strong salient angles inside, and two very 

 weak ones outside, this is followed by an elongate process with two slight 

 angles outside and none inside, the whole tooth being much elongated.
