- Miller — Eleven New Malayan Mouse Deer. 81 



Remarks.— The gray neck and broad, yellowish superciliary stripe im- 

 mediately distinguish Tragulus focalinus from all other known members 

 of the genus. 



Through the kindness of Mr. Witmer Stone of the Academy of Nat- 

 ural Sciences of Philadelphia, I have before me the Javan specimen 

 recorded by Stone and Rehn as Tragulus pelandoe. It is an adult male 

 (permanent dentition in place, but unworn) with colors somewhat faded 

 from long exposure to light. In color pattern it exactly agrees with the 

 male of Tragulus focalinus, except that the transverse throat stripes do 

 not meet in front, a character which is doubtless individual. In size, how- 

 ever, it so much exceeds either of the specimens of T. focalinus (hind 

 foot, 116; greatest length of skull, 9.3) as to suggest that it represents a 

 distinct form. 



The specific name pelandoe has been twice applied to a gray-necked 

 Tragulus, by Blyth in 1858, and by Stone and Rehn in 1902. It was 

 originally based, however, on the "Pelandok" of Raffles (Trans. Linn. 

 Soc. London, XIII. p. 263, 1822) an animal which cannot be positively 

 identified, but which is, so far as Raffles' account* and our present 

 knowledge are concerned, not different from the Tragulas kanchil of 

 Sumatra. 



Tragulus virgico'lis, sp. now 



Type.— Adult male (skin and skull) No. 83,941, United States National 

 Museum. Collected at altitude of 3000 feet on Mt. Dulit, Sarawak. 

 Borneo, in June, 1895, by Ernest Hose and Charles Hose. 



CharacU >,rs.— Largest known member of the kanchil group (hind foot 

 about 130). General color lighter and more yellow than in Tragulus 

 kanchil; nape stripe clear black, narrow, and very sharply defined. 



Color. — Type: General color above buff-yellow, heavily clouded with 

 black on back, slightly on sides, where the ground color becomes paler. 

 Cheeks and neck clear orange-buff, the former somewhat bleached and 

 grizzled. Nape stripe clear black, sharply defined, only about 12 mm. 

 in width. Crown brownish, faintly grizzled with yellowish. Supercili- 

 ary stripe narrow and obsolete, though faintly visible in certain lights. 

 Throat pattern normal, the oblique stripes united in front. Both collar 

 and oblique stripes are essentially concolor with sides of neck* though 

 the latter are rather heavily clouded with dark brown. Underparts and 

 inner surface of legs white. Median line with a dull buff-yellow stripe, 

 narrow and tinged with brownish anteriorly, about 35 mm. wide at mid- 

 dle of belly. Tail dull yellowish brown above, pure white below and 

 at tip. 



Skull and teeth. — The skull is similar to that of Tragulus kanchil ex- 



* "The Pelandok is the least of the three [the others are the napu ami 

 the kanchil] in point of height, but has proportionably a larger and 

 heavier body: it has also a larger eye.'* The context indicates that this 

 statement rests on the authority of native accounts of the species.
