NEW SPECIES OF SORICIDAE 565 
Fur rather dense and long, light reddish brown above, on 
the face paler, on the ventral surface ashy; the colours of the 
dorsal and ventral surfaces being separated by a more or less 
well defined line along the sides of the body; the basal half 
of the fur, above and beneath, dark slate blue; hairs on the 
feet and tail pale yellowish. The colour of the fur, so far as 
one may judge from specimens preserved in alcohol, appears 
to be fairly uniform in males and females, the latter being 
slightly darker, and young individuals conspicuously so. 
The lateral gland is well developed, especially in males, and 
very peculiar in position being situated far back on the side of 
the body nearer to the groin than to the axilla, so differing 
from C. flavescens in which it appears to be developed in males 
only in rut and in them is found but slightly behind its usual 
position in other species of the genus. 
The skull is much longer than that of C. flavescens and com- 
paratively much wider across the mastoid processes; the teeth 
viewed laterally appear to be very similar in both species, but 
seen from beneath they are at once found to be much narrower 
in this species; the anterior maxillary tooth (penultimate pre- 
molar) is quite different in shape in C. /lavescens, being nearly 
as broad in its transverse diameter as it is long in its antero- 
posterior, and expanded posteriorly, whereas in this species it is 
much longer antero-posteriorly and narrow behind. 
In the following table the measurements of an adult male 
and female of this species are contrasted with those of similarly 
adult male and female specimens of C. flavescens, the only spe- 
cies with which it is likely to be confounded:
