and blackish or brownish black; along middle line of back the two

 pure ocliraceous orange of sides of neck; on sides of body the light 

 buffy colors predominate; outside of legs rather darker than dull 

 ocliraceous orange. Underparts and narrow stripe on innerside of 

 legs white, belly being suffused along middle line with ocliraceous 

 buff; collar oohi'aceous buff, and V similar but slightly admixed with

Skull and teeth. — These show no special peculiarities. 



Measurements. — Type: Head and body 460 mm.; tail, 70; hind- 

 foot, 125; condylobasal length, 90.7; zygomatic width, 42.5; width of 

 braincase, 31.5; premolar-molar series, 36.3; weight, 4^ pounds (2 

 kilos.) 



Specimens examined. — Two, from Pinie. 



RemarJcs. — Tragulus pinius appears to be a well marked species. 

 Its peculiarities were pointed out by Mi'. Miller in 1903. Both of 

 the specimens were labeled by him "T. russidusV. In color it is 

 like T. hrevipes, but is larger, with less of a nape stripe. It appears 

 to be a much lightened form of T. russulus, but intergrading speci- 

 mens are lacking.
