ON SUNDRY COLLECTIONS OF MAMMALS RECEIVED BY THE 

 FIELD COLUMBIAN MUSEUM FROM DIFFERENT LOCALI- 

 TIES, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF SUPPOSED NEW SPECIES 

 AND SUB SPECIES.— D. G. ELLIOT, F. R. S. E. 



I. a LIS! "I MAMMALS OBTAINED BY THE MENAGE EXPEDITION TO BOR- 

 NEO IND THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPE] VGO. 



In 1894 Messrs. F. S. Bourns and D. C. Worcester published an 

 abbreviated list of the mammals procured by them in "Preliminary 

 Notes " issued by the Minnesota Academy of Natural Sciences, but 

 mam species had not at that time been ascertained. The Field 

 Columbian Museum having obtained a number of species, I give the 

 names as determined by me, and the list will serve to supplement 

 that of Messrs. Bourns and Worcester. 



Sus ahaenobarbus Hint. 



Two specimens, a male and female, Palawan. 



This species, the male of which was described by Huet in 

 Le Naturaliste, 1888, p. 5, differs considerably from Sits Pliilip- 

 pensis in general appearance, and in the shape of the skull and 

 teeth. As these have been figured by Huet, 1. c. , the latter species 

 under the name of .S. marchei, it will not be necessary for me 

 to go into the details of their differences. The female, however, 

 not having been procured by Huet, a short description of its general 

 appearance may not be amiss. Nose, flesh color; a broad band of 

 black hairs crosses the nose from margin of upper lip, remainder of 

 nose and sides of head tawny ochraceous. Space between eyes, top 

 of head, and line down back of head, black. Hairs on back of neck 

 very long, rufous with black bases. Whiskers quite long, yellow- 

 ish-white, with black hairs intermingled. Skin of body tawny 

 ochraceous (which gives the general color to the animal), and all of 

 it covered sparsely with black hairs, longest and thickest in the mid- 

 dle of the back. The hairs between the shoulders are rufous for a 

 third of their apical length. Tail covered along the center on top
