APPENDIX. Ill 



H. fulvescens of Ceylon, with which I had compared it, belongs to another 

 group, Onychogale, distinguished by its long curved claws, and stands now 

 as O. Maccarihics, Gray. 



Calogale has the tail long, slender and cylindric, with short hair, long 



2 2 



only at the tip, and the false molars x — 5. To this belong Nos. 128 and 



o — o 



131,- -ff. malaccensis and nipalensis. Gray places the former of these as 



Calogale nydla, making it distinct from the Malacca Mungoos ; but he 



states that there is no specimen from Malayana in the British Museum, 



so the distinction of the species is stiU doubtful, I think. These two 



forms, viz., Herpestes and Calogale, have the flesh tooth long and narrow. 



The next two forms have the flesh-tooth broad and triangular.

Caliotis has the false molars as in Herpestes, viz., j — -, and the tail 



thick and tapering. To this belongs Ko. 130, Calictis Smithii, which 

 I see is figured in the Illustrated Proceedings of the Zool. Society for 

 1851, pi. 31. 



TiENioGALE is described as having the whiskers small and slender ; the 

 soles of the hind feet bald ; the orbit complete ; and 42 teeth. To this 

 belongs No. 133, Tjeniogale vitticollis apud Gray. Should not T^nio- 

 GALB give place to Mangos, previously proposed for this species ? 



With reference to H. thysanurus, Wagner, from Kashmir, I may state 

 that I have recently again procured a mongoos from the valley of Kash- 

 mir, which is decidedly H. nipalensis. 



Page 141. A black wolf is occasionally seen in Tibet by sports- 

 men, and it is considered ■ by 4he natives to be a distinct species. Two 

 young ones, male and female, were brought from Tibet last year by 

 Messrs. Kinloch, Eifle Brigade, and Biddulph, 19th Hussars, and are now 

 on their way home to the Zoological gardens. They are called Hakpo 

 chanko by the Tibetans, i. e., the Black Wolf. 



Page 185, No. 171. Gerbillus BRyTHRouKUS. I forwarded a skin 

 of this rat to Dr. Gray, British Museum, and he writes me that it is most 

 undoubtedly his G. erythrourus, and that the skin I forwarded was the fac- 

 simile of the type specimen in the British Museum.

 T. apud Horsfield. 



Page 314, No. 241. Manis pendadactyla.— This species is classed by 

 Dr. Gray, in a late synopsis of the family, as Pholidotus indicus. Gray. 

 The genus Pholidotus is stated to differ from Manis in having the upper
