NO. 2028. PHILIPPINE LAND MAMMALS— H0LLI8TER. 313 



Mindanao: Catagan, 1 (Mearns); Lake Lanao, 1 (liearns); Mount 

 Apo, 1 (Mearns). 



With a splendid series of sixty skins and skulls of Viverra tanga- 

 lunga from Sumatra, Borneo, and many of the smaller Malayan 

 islands, for comparison with the Philippine material, I am unable 

 to find the slightest constant character to divide the species into 

 geographical races. 



PARADOXURUS PHILIPPINENSIS Jourdan. 



Specimens. — Five, from the following localities : 



Luzon: Nagpartian, Ilocos Norte, 2 (Mearns). 



Ticao: 1 (P. B. S.). 



Mindoro: Bulacao, 1 (Mearns). 



Palawan: [Iwahig?], 1 (Mearns). 



PARADOXURUS MINAX Thomas. 



Specimens. — Five, from the following localities: Mindanao: Ba- 

 ganga, 1 (Mearns) ; Catagan, 1 (Mearns); Grand Malindang, 1 (Mearns); 

 Mount Apo, 1 (Mearns); Zamboanga, 1 (Mearns). 



The material representing this genus from the Philippines is far 

 too little to work out the forms satisfactorily. The characters given 

 by TJiomas for his P. minax are mostly untrustworthy, as shown by 

 our material, limited as it is. The Mindanao animal does not seem 

 to differ in size or size of skull from the Luzon form. It does, however, 

 average darker in color, so far as shown by the few available skins, 

 and doubtless will prove to be a recognizable race. 



Family CANID^. 



CANIS FAMILIARIS Linnffius. 



Specimens. — Five skulls of the native domestic dog, from the fol- 

 lowing localities : 



Luzon: Baguio, Benguet, 1 (Mearns). 



Mindanao : Little Santa Cruz Island, 1 (Mearns) ; Sarangani Bay, 

 1 (Mearns); Zamboanga, 2 (Mearns). 



Family SCIURID^. 



NANNOSCIURUS CONCINNUS (Thomas). 



Specimens. — Nine, from the following localities: Basilan: "Basi- 

 lan," 6 (P. B. S.); Isabela, 3 (Mearns). 



NANNOSCIURUS SURRUTILUS, new species. 



Type. — From summit of Mount Bliss, 5,750 feet, Mindanao. 

 Adult female, skin and skull, U. S. National Museum No. 144641. 

 Collected May 28, 1906, by Dr. Edgar A. Mearns. Orig. No. 6170. 



Diagnosis. — Like Nannosciurus condnnus, of Basilan, but darker 

 colored, less reddish; and with longer, more slender, skull.
