(There is no dmilit, as I have said before, that P. jaxann is the fiklest name for 

 any Malayan FelnrgojisiK, and that, though erroneously stated to inlialiit Java, 

 its real home is Borneo. P. jWi.icri (original locality Java, hnt apparently also 

 inhabiting Sumatra, Billiton, and perhaps the southern Alalay Peninsula), and 

 P. malaccensis, as well as hunnnnira, floresiatxi, gi/ridl, are subspecies of jarana, 

 and it only remains to be proved how malaccensis and J'raseri can occur together, 

 as said by Dr. Sharpe.)

 Willoughby, Adrovandus, and others.)
