being at least it seems best to regard it as having come from Palawan. 

 In the Berlin Museum is a specimen collected by Mollendorf, agree- 

 ing very well with T. palawanensis. It is labeled "Calamianes 

 Gruppe." If not coming from northern Palawan itself, it probably 

 came from some of the nearer islands at the northern end of Palawan. 

 This specimen was called by Nehring/ in 1894, T. ferruginea. The 

 specimen appears to be an old one and to have been mounted at one 

 time. The same name was applied to the British Museum speci- 

 mens in 1889 by Everett.^ 



Specimens examined. — Eighteen; 6 including the type from "Pala- 

 wan"; 6 from Puerto Princessa, Palawan; 3 from Iwahig, Palawan; 

 1 from the "Calamianes Gruppe"; 1 from Balabac; and 1 from 

 "Palawan or Basilan." See table below.
