The first upper incisors are rather widely apart, directed 

 forwards and downwards. A well-developed tubercle on the 

 inner side' of the posterior portion, which is conically pointed. 

 The second incisor is large, and more than equalling the longi- 

 tudinal length of the third incisor and the canine j the third 

 incisor is only a little smaller than the canine ; the premolar is 

 placed behind' the canine, has a sharp point, and is visible ex- 

 ternally, but its point is much above the level of the point of 

 the anterior cusp of the first molar ; the chief cusp of this last 

 mentioned tooth is but little longer than the second iiicisoi". 



Blyth,in describing this species, stated that it was " remark- 

 able for its naked feet and very large ears ; also for the odori- 

 ferous glands on the sides being strongly developed ; whereas 

 we can detect them in no other of these minute species." The 

 feet, however, of the type specimens, named in Blyth's own 

 handwriting, appear to be quite as well haired, if not more so 

 than in some other species, and, moreover, the glands on the 

 sides are not peculiar to it as a small species. As the 

 character assigned by Blyth, viz., naked feet, is mislead- 

 ing, I have re-named this species after its distinguishing 

 feature, namely, its large ears. 



It is closely allied to C. perrottetii from the Nilgiris, but is 

 distinguished from it by its larger ears and by the character of 

 its teeth, the first incisor being well curved, with a prominent 

 eminence at the base, and the first intermediate tooth l^eing 

 large and conical,
