tion of specimens preserved in alcohol) is very similar in 
length and in colour to that of that species ; the lateral gland 
is as well developed as in the males of C. Horsfieldii , perhaps 
somewhat larger, in the single female available for examina- 
tion (which is, however, not quite full-grown) there is no trace 
of one. 
Fur above reddish brown, beneath greyish brown, the basal 
three fourths of the hairs somewhat slaty. Skull much larger 
than that of C. Horsfieldii ; teeth (see my 1 Monograph of 
the Insectivora,’ part iii. fasc. 1, pi. xxviii. fig. 11) like those 
of that species, the last upper incisor nearly equal to the 
anterior maxillary tooth in vertical extent, but less than it in 
cross section. 
Length (of an adult male, the type) : head and body 68 
millim., tail 51, ear 10, elbow to end of middle digit (without 
claw) 18, manus (without claws) 8, pes (without claws) 13^.

Crocidura Peter sii. 
Slightly larger than C. Doriana ) resembling that species in 
the peculiar position of the lateral gland, but differing from it 
in the form of the teeth and in the much greater length of the 
foot. The measurements of the skull are different (see below) 
and much greater than those of fully adult specimens of C '. 
Doriana ) although the specimen from which this description 
is taken is not full-grown, thus indicating a much larger 
species ; the bones of the skull also are much thicker, very 
unlike the diaphanous skull of C. Doriana. 
Ears short and clothed with short hairs only ; the tail is 
thinly covered with very short hairs, but comparatively plen- 
tifully set with long brown hairs, which extend along three 
fourths its length ; the fur on the back is reddish brown, 
beneath ashy with a brownish tinge. 
The anterior cusp of the first upper incisor extends far 
beneath the posterior basal cusp ; the latter is very peculiarly 
shaped (see 4 Monograph of the Insectivora,’ pt. iii. fasc. 1, 
pi. xxviii. fig. 17), its anterior margin is absolutely straight, 
and its cusp is well developed; the anterior maxillary tooth is 
larger than the third incisor in cross section and equals it in 
vertical extent. 
The following are the measurements of the type, a not quite 
full-grown male specimen : — 
Length : head and body 92 millim., vent to tip of tail 52, 
ear 9, elbow T to end of middle digit (without claw) 24, manus
