All the sutures are intact, and the premaxillary suture is 

 interior to the third intermediate tooth. 



It may prove to be the young of some other species already 

 known. It is curious to observe, as Blyth remarks, that the 

 inguinal teats of this shrew, although the animal is so very 

 young, are well developed.
