186 Miller A New Mou*e Deer from Lower Slam. 



cream-buff and blackish brown, the latter slightly in excess on nape, 

 but not forming a distinct median stripe. Upper surface of head and 

 face essentially like back. A faint, diffuse, pale streak over and in front 

 of eye. Sides of neck slightly paler than nape. Throat with the usual 

 dark and white bands, all of which are of approximately equal breadth. 

 The dark bands are darker than the neck, but not conspicuously so 

 They are coarsely grizzled with buff and blackish brown, the latter 

 color in excess. Collar like sides, therefore paler than longitudinal 

 throat bands. Chest, belly and inner side of legs white, the chest faintly 

 shaded with gray along median line. Outer surface of legs clear orange- 

 buff, somewhat brighter than that of back. Tail white beneath, orange- 

 buff faintly clouded with blackish brown above. 



Skull and teeth. In size and general form the skull of Tragulus canes- 

 cens closely resembles that of T. napu. It is at once distinguishable, 

 however, by the larger audital bullae and much larger teeth. When the 

 skulls are viewed from behind, held so that the tips of the premaxil- 

 laries fall in line with the anterior rim of the foramen magnum the visi 

 ble surface of each audital bulla is reduced in Tragulu* napu to a mere 

 rim much less extensive than that of the occipital condyle, while in T. 

 eanescens the bulla appears considerably larger than the condyle. The 

 actual difference in size is about as follows: Tragulus napu; greatest 

 length of bulla, 23; greatest width, 12.4; Tragulu* canexcenx; greatest 

 length of bulla, 25; greatest width, 14. Though not different in form, 

 the teeth of Tragulus caneftcens are uniformly larger than those of T. 

 napu, so that each toothrow is about 5 mm. longer.
