Miller Eleven New Malayan Mouse Deer. 39 



speckled by the yellowish annulations of some of the hairs, its lateral 

 boundaries not very sharply defined. Crown dull brown, distinctly not 

 as dark as in T. kanchil, and with most of the hairs noticeably annulated. 

 Throat markings normal, the transverse dark bands united anteriorly. 

 Both transverse bands and collar are ochraceous, but the former are 

 distinctly clouded with a darker brown, much less so, however, than in 

 Tragulus kanchil. Underparts with the usual yellowish markings; 

 these not as dark as in T. kanchil and showing more of a tendency to 

 spread laterally. 



Skutt and teeth. The skull closely resembles that of Tragulus mrgi- 

 collis, having a more elongate rostrum than in T. kanchil. This is par 

 ticularly noticeable when the skulls are viewed from the side. The teeth 

 do not, apparently, differ from those of the related species, but in the 

 single male skull the premolars, both above and below, are remarkably 

 heavy, and the first maxilliary tooth is strongly imbricated over the 

 second. 



Measurements. External measurements of type: total length, 523; 

 head and body, 460; tail vertebrae, 63; hind foot, 118 (106); ear from 

 meatus, 31 ; ear from crown, 26. Average of five adult females from the 

 type locality: total length, 524 (520-532); head and body, 468 (460-482); 

 tail vertebrae, 58 (50-70); hind foot, 116 (112-118); hind foot without 

 hoofs, 103 (100-106). Skull of type: greatest length, 97; basal length, 

 92; zygomatic breadth, 43; diastema, 12. 



Weight. Type 1.8 kg. Average of five females from Bunguran 

 Island, 2 (1.8-2.3). 



Specimens examined. Five skins and one extra skull, all from the type 

 locality. 



Eemarks. Although Tragulus natunce approaches the Bornean T. vir- 

 gicollis in its elongated rostrum and yellow color it is readily distin 

 guishable by its small hind foot and broad, not sharply defined nape 

 stripe. The bright color alone is enough to separate it from Tragulus 

 kanchil. With Tragulus pallidus of Pulo Laut, North Natunas it needs 

 no comparison.

Type. Adult female (skin and skull) No. 113,119 United States Na 

 tional Museum. Collected on Sinkep Island, South China Sea, Septem 

 ber 5, 1901, by Dr. W. L. Abbott. Original number, 1285. 



Characters. Similar to Tragulus kanchil but color above slightly more 

 yellow; and underparts much more extensively washed with fulvous. 



Color. The color above is slightly more yellow than that of Tragulus 

 kanchil but not as bright as in T. natunae. Ground color orange buff, 

 slightly paler on sides, and everywhere clouded with black, though less 

 than in the Sumatran animal. Neck and outer surface of limbs tawny-
