NO. 1485. MAMMALS FROM RHIO-LINQA ISLANDS-MILLER. 269 



ARCTOGALIDIA FUSCA, new species. 



Type.— AdiwM male (skin and skull), Cat. No. 122920, United States 

 National Museum. Collected on Pulo Kundur, Rhio Archipelago, 

 June 22, 1903, b}^ Dr. W. L. Abbott. Original number, 2540. 



Characters. — Size about as in Ardogalldia simplex.^ but color darker, 

 and all three dorsal stripes well developed. 



Color. — T3^pe: General color above a rather dark smoke-gra}^ or 

 drab-gra}^, irregularl}- lightened by the narrow buffy gray subterminal 

 annulations and silvery gloss of the hairs. On crown, ears, feet, and 

 distal two-thirds of tail the color deepens to nearly black. Dorsal 

 stripes blackish, the central clear and sharply defined, the laterals less 

 distinct, though evident. Sides of neck washed with light ochraceous- 

 butf. Underparts broccoli-brown washed Avith pale buffy, this color 

 running out faintly on basal third of tail. Foi-ehead with the usual 

 whitish stripe. 



Skull and teeth. — The skull and teeth do not differ appreciabl}^ from 

 those of Arctogalidla simplex. 



Measurements. — For external measurements see table, page 271. 

 Skull of type: Greatest length, 98 mm. ; upper length, 90; condylobasi- 

 lar length, 93.8; basilar length, 89.4; palatilar length, 51.2; breadth of 

 palate between anterior molars, 15; zj'-gomatic breadth, 62; constric- 

 tion in front of postorbital processes, 18; constriction behind post- 

 orbital processes, 17; breadth of braincase above roots of zj-gomata, 

 34.4; mandible, 73.4; maxillary toothrow (exclusive of incisors), 35; 

 mandibular toothrow (exclusive of incisors), 37. 



Specime7is examined. — Four, all from Pulo Kundur. The skull of 

 an adult female from Pulo Bintang (No. 115600, August 18, 1902) may 

 represent the same species. 



Remarks. — The Kundur Arctogalidla is fully as dark as the black- 

 eared animals of Borneo and the Malaj^ Peninsula, but is readily dis- 

 tinguishable by its smaller size. From the small members of the 

 genus it differs in its dark color and well-developed dorsal stripes.
