collecting in Borneo was done in the southern part, it is probable that 

 it came from southern Borneo, especially as the description seems more 

 applicable to the southern form. Wagner did not have a skin of the 

 Sumatran tana when he applied the name speciosus, hence his error 

 of considermg the two forms different. 



The specmien in the British Museum from Pajo is not typical, and 

 if the characters it presents are constant for the longnosed treeshrews 

 of that region, it represents a distinct form. It is very dark and dull 

 in color and the red element much suppressed. Some of this difference 

 in color may be the result of preservatives. (See remarks under 

 Tana tana utara, p. 142.) 



The Bornean specimens m the United States National Museum 

 have been previously called Twpaia speciosa.^
