ART. 1 MAMMALS FROM CHINA — HOWELL. 81 



Order EDENTATA 



Family MANIDAE 

 Genus MANIS Linnaeus 



MANIS DALMANNI Sunderall 



Matus dalmanni Sundetall, Vetense. Akad. Handl., 1842, p. 256 (Canton, 

 Kwaugtung, China). 



Specimen. — One from Foochow, Fiikien. 



The Chinese members of this genus are in need of revision. 

 Pocock (1924) has cleared up generic questions, but the Jiterature 

 seems to offer little to elucidate the relationships of dalTnanni, aurita, 

 and pentadactyla. The above skin, however, matches the descriptions 

 of the first-mentioned form and not the others. Longitudinal rows 

 of scales number 15, and there are 19 keeled scales upon the border 

 of the tail. 



MANIS AURITA Hodgson 

 Manis aurita Hodgson, Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, vol. 5, 1836, p. 234. 



Specimen. — One from Yunnan, bought between Tengyueh and 

 Yunlung, undoubtedly from either the Saiween or Mekong river 

 vaUey. 



This dried specimen has a present total length of 470 mm. The 

 claws are of the same color as the scales, the latter are not keeled on 

 the flanks and are arrayed in 15 rows over the back, while the keeled 

 scales of the tail border number 17.
