Postscript . 
While the preceding pages were passing through the press, I received 
from Dr. W. de Tatham at Bhuj a few additional specimens of mammals 
and tortoises, of which I had not been able to obtain examples at the tune 
of my visit. They are — 
Pteroput medius, mentioned at p. 223. The specimen sent agrees in 
all essential points of structure and coloration with those from other parts 
of India ; it has a total length of about 11*6 inches, which is very nearly 
the length of the middle finger ; the ears are 1*2 inch long and only 
07 inch broad, while hi other specimens from India the ears generally have a 
greater breadth. Most of the Indian specimens also have a considerably 
longer middle finger. 
JSrinacem pictus, see p. 223. An adult specimen of this species is 
65 inches long ; in coloration it exactly agrees with the half grown one 
from which my description was taken, except that the lower belly is less 
brown, the white extending to nearly within the interfemoral space. In the 
younger specimen the dentition is normal, agreeing (according to Owen’s 
Comparative Anat. and Phys., Ill, p. 308) with that of E. curopccus, the 
formula being i. ~ + c. 777- + p. ^ + ni. — = 3G. The two ante- 
rior incisors are very far apart and have the form of canines of Carnivora , the 
third on each side is very much larger than the second, which again is con- 
siderably smaller in the upper than in the lower jaw. What is considered 
as a canine in the upper jaw, is by other Osteologists often accepted as the 
first premolar. The true first premolar in the upper jaw is smaller than 
the canine, the second premolar is minute, and in the adult specimen it is 
altogether absent, it has probably become obsolete ; the last premolar is 
tricuspid in upper and bicuspid in lower jaw ; the formula, of the adult 
3.3 2*2 3'3 
dentition would, therefore, appear to bo ^ ^ + 3^ = 34, 
but there is a short space visible between the two premolars in the upper jaw, 
while the first premolar is very close to the canine. 
Of tortoises Dr. Tatham sent me a specimen of the Testudo, mentioned 
in my notice* on the Reptiles of Kachh ; it proved to be T. elegans, Schoef, 
as recorded by Gunther, or Peltastes stellatus, (Scliweig.), according to Gray. 
(Suppl. to Cat. of Shield Kept., 1870, p. 8). 
The Emyda referred to in the same notice is, Dr. Anderson informs me, 
* Proceedings for May, p. 72. By an error, I stated that the species, which was 
described to me by a native, is like T. Grayi , which specific name should be Leithvi 
of Gunther.
