in the absence of the great pale patch upon the shoulders ; the anterior toes and 

 the entire hind-feet are black ; the tail is grizzled like the back to near its tip, 

 which is largely terminated with black, and less abruptly so than in the Hima- 

 layan races ; the under-parts are strongly tinged with rufous-brown ; and the 

 general hue is darker than in the grizzled variety of Pt. magnificus, and more 

 grizzled with pure white than in Pt. albiventer. Whether it would attain the 

 size of the latter cannot be determined from the present young specimen, though 

 I think I can safely aver that it does so ; and, upon the whole, it more resembles 

 Pt. albiventer than the grizzled variety of Pt. magnificus, although very closely 

 allied to both of these named Pteromydes.
