TREESHREWS: FAMILY TUPAIID.^—LYON. 



83 



specimens of Tupaia javanica. T. cuyonis also resembles T. javo/nica 

 in having dark under parts. T. cuyonis might with miicli propriety 

 be described as a large brown and not olivaceous T. javanica. The 

 difference between the length of tooth row and the width of brain 

 case is greater in Tupaia cuyonis than it is in T. chinensis or T. 

 helangeri, and still greater than in T. glis ferruginea, where the 

 maxillary tooth row is sometimes as long as the brain case is wide. 

 In T. javanica the diif erence in length of maxillary tooth row and 

 width of brain case is even greater than in T. cuyonis. Tupaia cuyonis 

 and T. moUendorffi are very distinct from each otlier and from other 

 members of the genus, but at the same time they have no sharply 

 separating characters. They have characters which on the one hand 

 ally them with T. javanica and on the other with T. chinensis. 



Specimens examined.— Nine, all from Cuyo Island, and in the col- 

 lection of the Philippine Museum. See table below.
