36 Miller Eleven New Malayan Mouse Deer. 



others now known by the great width and distinctness of the tawny 

 superciliary stripes, and by the grizzled gray neck strikingly contrasted 

 with tawny body and head; no dark nape stripe; throat markings 

 normal. 



Color. Type:. Back raw-sienna, fading laterally through buff to the 

 cream-buff of sides, the hairs everywhere ecru-drab at base and blackish 

 at tip. The black tips produce a faint dark median area along back, 

 but at sides the buff and cream-buff predominate. The grizzle pro 

 duced by the dark and light colors is everywhere very fine and incon 

 spicuous. Entire neck coarsely grizzled gray, the individual hairs 

 black, each with a buffy white band 2-4 mm. in width at tip or just be 

 low. The gray area begins immediately behind cheeks and ears and 

 continues to front of shoulder. At each end it passes abruptly into color 

 of neighboring region. Anteriorly it shows a tendency to darken in the 

 median line, but not enough to produce a dark nape band. Crown 

 blackish, the hairs with dull inconspicuous tawny annulations. Cheeks 

 and superciliary stripe dull orange-buff, a little speckled by dark hair 

 tips, the superciliary stripe nearly as wide as the median dark area. Throat 

 markings normal, the transverse bands united in front, and nearly con- 

 color with neck, though slightly buff tinged. Collar like sides of body, 

 but more strongly grizzled. Underparts and inner surface of legs pure 

 white. Outer surface of legs raw-sienna, much brighter and more 

 tinged with red on thighs. Tail raw-sienna above, pure white below 

 and at tip. A second specimen from the type locality (immature male, 

 No. 120,573) is in all respects similar except that the light annulations on 

 neck are almost pure white, and the median line of chest and belly is 

 washed with orange buff from just behind axillae to level of thighs. 



Skull and teeth. The skull closely resembles that of Tragulus kanchil 

 except that the rostrum is shorter and the audital bullae (in the two 

 skulls examined) are narrower. Teeth as in Tragulus kanchil.
