NO. 1076. TREESHREWS: FAMILY TUPAIID^—LYON. 129 



Geographic distribution. — Cambodia and Anam. See A on map on 

 page 133. 



Diagnosis. — Color light, face markings conspicuous, claws small 

 and blunt, 1.5-2 mm.; hind foot 25 mm. or over. 



Color. — Type, with rather soft and close fur, upper parts of neck, 

 body, and base of tail a fine grizzle of brownish black and ochraceous, 

 (the ochraceous inclining to buff anteriorly and to tawny posteriorly) 

 the two colors about equally mixed; outer side of legs similar to adja- 

 cent parts of body; upper parts of head a fine grizzle of blackish and 

 buflf, the former in excess; underparts and inner side of legs pale 

 buffy ; side of head with a blackish line beginning at base of whiskers, 

 gradually becoming wider, and running through eye to ear, bordered 

 above by a buffy line and below by a similar line; tail above similar 

 to back, but darker for distal three-fourths, below, a dark line in the 

 middle, bordered by an ochraceous line, and on the extreme outer 

 edge by the color of the tail above. Plate 5. 



A paratype is essentially like the type, but is more tawny on the 

 rump and base of tail. Reg. No. 7.1.1.1, a topotype collected in 

 1861 (?), is ochraceous buff on the underparts instead of pale buffy. 

 Two modern skins, Reg. Nos. 6.11.6.5 and 6.11.6.6, from Nhatrang, 

 Anam, are in general similar to the original series, but are slightly 

 more yellowish anteriorly, and one of them, 6.11.6.5, has rather long 

 soft fur like that of Dendrogale melanura. 



ShuU and teeth. — These are practically indistinguishable from those 

 of other species of Dendrogale that I have examined ; the brain case 

 is not quite so inflated or arched as that of D. melanura. 



Measurements. — Type: Head and body (from mounted skin) , 135 

 mm.; tail (frommountedskin),95; hind foot, 27; condylobasal length, 

 31; zygomatic width, 17; width of brain case, 15.5; maxillary tooth 

 row, 12. For individual measurements, see table, page 134. 



Specimens examined.— Four from Cambodia and two from near 

 Nhatrang, Anam.
