Type-locality . — Siriam, near Rangoon, Pegu, Burma, southeastern 

 Asia. 



Type-specimen. — A specimen that might be considered the type is 

 in the Paris Museum of Natural History. It bears the numbers 2 

 and 1023; it is labeled " Indes orientales," and was probably collected 

 by Belanger, December, 1828. It is an old mounted and much 

 bleached specimen with the skull inside. Aside from historical asso- 

 ciation, this specimen has little value. 



Geographic distribution. — Along the west coast of the Malay 

 Peninsula, from Victoria Pomt (lat. 10° N.), northward and west- 

 ward into Pegu and Arakan,^ and probably extending northward 

 along the river valleys, and on the following islands : Preparis between 

 the Andamans and Pegu; and Bentink, Domel, Kissering, Sullivan,
