TREESHREW8: FAMILY TU P All DJE— LYON. 



119 



Island by Dr. W. L. Abbott, October 5, 1908; original number, 6226; 

 skin in good condition; skull imperfect. 



GeograpTiic distribution. — Known only from Karimata Island. See 

 No. 7 on map on page 111. 



Diagnosis. — Characterized by having the general olivaceous color of 

 the upper parts strongly approaching bister, the effect produced by a 

 fine grizzHng of blackish and ochraceous; tail more brownish and less 

 different in color from head and body than in the case of the other 

 subspecies; light colors of underside of tail distinctly ochraceous. 



Slcull aTid teeth. — There are no characters by which the skull and 

 teeth of Tupaia gracilis edarata may be distinguished from those of 

 T. g. injiata. 



Measurements. — Type: Head and body, 135 mm.; tail, 156; hindfoot, 

 38; condylo-basal length, 36 ±; zygomatic width, 19; width of^ brain 

 case, 17; maxillary tooth row, 13. 



RemarTcs. — Tupaia gracilis edarata is more like the subspecies injiata 

 than the typical form and I identified it as Tupaia injiata in 1911.' 

 It is browner than any of the Banka-Billiton specimens, and although 

 based on the examination of but a single sldn it is apparently a 

 fairly well defined geographic form. 



Specimen examined. — One, the type.
