26 Millet — Two New Carnivores from the Malay Peninsvla. 



length the sknW of Arctogalidia rnojar exceeds that of A. stigmnticahyS mm. 

 in greatest breadtli of rostrum and by 5 mm. in mastoid 1)readth. The 

 audital bull;« are relativelj^ larger in the larger annual, their greatest 

 length, including paroccipital process, 23.4 mm. instead of 19.6 mm. As 

 compared with that of Arctogalidia kucolis the skull shows much the same 

 differences, though even more noticeably (see cranial measurements). The 

 teeth show no special peculiarities, though they appear to Ije relatively 

 smaller than in A. stigrnatica.

 head and body, 560 ; tail vertebrte, 6S5 ; hind foot, 1)7 (92). Skull: Great-

 behind postorbital processes, 17.2 (17) ; breadth of braincase above roots of 

 zygomata, 35, (36.2); mastoid breadth, 42.8 (37); mandible, 86.6 (80.4) ; 

 maxillary toothrovv exclusive of incisors, 41 (37); upper incisor row, 10 

 (8.6) ; mandibular toothrow exclusive of incisors, 45 (40). 



Specimens examined. — One, the ty()e. 



Remurks. — This species appears to be a large continental representative 

 of tlie widely distributed Arctogalidia stigrnatica group. It is the largest 

 known member of the genus, and the size of its skull is alone sufficient to 

 distinguish it. From the other species occurring on the Malay Peninsula, 

 A. leucotis, it is separable by color as well as by size, as the ears show no 

 tendency to develop the conspicuous white patch on distal half, and the 

 dorsal streaks retain their outline complete. 



Paradoxurus robustus sp. nov. 



Tijpe. — Adult female (skin and skull) No. 86,796, United States National 

 Museum. Collected in Trong, Lower Siam, February 13, 1899, by Dr. W. 

 L. Abbott. 



Characters. — Like Paradoxurus leucomystax from the southern part of the 

 Malay Peninsula, f but size not as great, and color not as dark. 



Color. — Type: Upperparts a light dull buff, paler and clearer on sides, 

 somewhat tinged with russet over middle of back, the hairs everywhere 

 black-tipi)ed, but the dark- color very inconspicuous except on crown, neck, 

 and shoulders, where it ])roduces an evident clouding. Back without 

 stripes or sj)ots. Feet and ears blackish. Ui)per half of cheeks light buff, 

 clearer and more yellow than that of body, fading into huffy gray on fore- 

 head and median line of muzzle. Sides of muzzle and lowerhalf of cheeks 

 to and including eyes dark hair-brown, slightly grizzled with grayish buff. 

 Whiskers pale buff. Underparts and inner surface of legs dull buff, paler 

 and less yellow than that of Ridgway, somewhat darkened by a wash of

 from Red Point, Tenasserim (No. 124,227). 



t The type of Paradoxurus leucomystax formed part of the Rattles collection, and was 

 therefore probably taken in this region or in western Sumatra,
