TUPAIA GLIS PULONIS Miller. 



1903. Tupaia pulonis Miller, Smiths. Misc. Coll., vol. 45, p. 56, Nov. 6, 1903. 



Type-locality. — Pulo Aor, off east coast of Malay Peninsula. 



Type-specimen. — In United States National Museum, Cat. No. 

 112449, skin and skull, adult female, Pulo Aor, June 7, 1901 ; collected 

 by Dr. W. L. Abbott; original number, 1023; in good condition. 



Geograpliic distribution. — Known only from Pulo Aor, the type- 

 locality. See No. 30 on map on page 75. 



Diagnosis. — A geographic race of Tupaia glis differing from the 

 mainland animal in being rather duller in color, and tail lighter and 

 more buffy. 



Color. — The ferruginous-chestnut color of Tupaia glis ferruginea 

 is replaced in T. glis pulonis by a color approaching tawny, and in 

 the mixture of buffy and blackish in the tail, the buff is in excess; the 

 under parts and inner side of legs are lighter and nearly cream color. 

 The shoulder stripes are lighter and more conspicuous than they are 

 in T. glis ferruginea. The general coloration of the Aor animal is 

 not unlike that of Tupaia glis glis, but the under parts and tail are 

 lighter and the general color above more ferruginous, 



Slcull and teeth. — These do not show any tangible characters by 

 which Tupaia glis pulonis can be separated with certainty from 

 related forms.

 foot, 42; condjdo-basal length, 47.5; zygomatic width, 26; width of
