Hah. Western Bengal (Paresnath) . 



Snout long and pointed, not much swollen across the 

 moustachial region, well haired. Ears large^ round, very 

 sparsely haired; rather long white hairs on the flaps. Feet 

 slender, covered with short, nearly white hairs, so as to oh- 

 scure the skin and projecting over the yellow claws, which are 

 rather large and curved at the points. Tail equalling the 

 distance from the vent to the middle of the ear, measured 

 along the side, slightly swollen at tlfe base, round, and rather 

 thickly clad with longish pale yellow, almost white hairs, 

 with long white hairs intermixed. Muzzle, ears, feet and 

 tail, pale yellowish. Fur rather long and soft, and pale rusty 

 fawn. Under parts grey, suffused with fawn. 



The first upper incisors of this female are longer, stronger 

 and more curved than in the adult male of C. bidiana, and 

 there is no tubercle on the inside of the posterior portion of the 

 tooth, which is not so sharply pointed as in that species. The 

 second incisor is also a broader and more blunted tooth than 

 in C. hidiana, and the third incisor is notably smaller than 

 the canine. The premolar is largely visible externally. The 

 lower incisors are notched in the middle, and their points are 

 not so upwardly bent as in C. bidiana.
