Skull and skin of the 122 specimens captured frnm type locality and record areas, and every- where planned along with the field notes were examined and some observations were recorded.
While the skin and skull were evaluated morphologically, 32 characters taken were evalu- ated by the biometric methods and findings were compared with the published data.
