NO. 1485. MAMMALS FROM BHIO-LINOA ISLANDS— MILLER. 249 



Sciurus tenuis, Sciurus peninsular is, Rhinosciurm Jaticaudatv^, Miu 

 near rattus, Viverra tangalunga, Aonyx clnerea, Ttipaia ferruginea, T. 

 malaccana., Oynocephalns volan.s, EmhaUonura peninsularis, Pterojnis 

 vampyriis, and Macaca fascieularis) occur also in Sumatra and on 

 the Malay Peninsula, 6 {Sus oi, Mu8fir7nns, M. llngenKls, M. fi-emens, 

 Tupaia tana, and Preshytis cristata) are known elsewhere from Su- 

 matra only, and 2 {Mus concoloi\ and Cynopterus inontanoi) from 

 the Malay Peninsula only. Among the 27 peculiar species the affini- 

 ties of 22 (the 10 Traguli,{Sus rhionh^Ratufa notahllh, R. (fovspieim, 

 R. carhnonensis, R. insignis, R. condurensis, Sciuropterus amcemis, 

 Arctogalldla simplex, A. fusca, Paradoxuras hrunneipes, Tupaia cas- 

 tanea, and T. p>1ixura) are geographically neutral, those of 4 Sciurus 

 carinionensis, S. condurensis, Preshytis rhionis, and P. cand) incline dis- 

 tinctly toward Sumatra; while in only a single instance {Ratufa (■onJini.'<) 

 is there any marked likeness to a type apparently characteristic of the 

 Malay Peninsula. From this analysis it seems evident that the rela- 

 tionships of the mammal fauna are more with Sumatra than with the 

 mainland. Of the 49 recognized species 34, it is true, are in this 

 respect neutral or noncommittal, but 11 show noticeable Sumatran 

 affinities, while only 4 are specially related to peninsula forms. It 

 should be remembered, however, that while the mammal fauna of the 

 Archipelago is now fairly well elucidated, that of the neighboring 

 large land areas is still very imperfectly known.

MANIS JAVANICA Desmarest. 



1902. Manis javanka Miller, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelpliia, jx 14H, June 

 11, 1902. 



An adult female was dug from a burrow in a hillside on Sinkep 

 Island September 4, 1901 (Cat. No. 113114). Total length, 440 mm.; 

 head and body, 220 mm.; tail, 220; weight, 4.7 kg.; skull (sutures 

 distinct except in occipital region and floor of brain case), upper 

 length (from upper rim of foramen magnum), 82.6 mm.; condylobasal 

 length, 91; basal length, 85.4; palatal length, 57; length of nasals, 34.8; 

 breadth of both nasals together at posterior extremity of premaxil- 

 laries, 9.8; lachrymal breadth, 24; breadth of l)raincase above roots 

 of zygomata, 33.8; zygomatic breadth, 30.6; mastoid breadth, 34; 

 depth of brain case, 23.4; mandible, 65. The uterus contained a foetus 

 92 mm. in length, but with the tail only 25 mm.; scales clearly out- 

 lined on head, body, and tail, but very indistinct on legs.
