I'TintOPUS HVl'UliKLANUS .MACA3SARICUS. 



125 



Tiipe presumably in ihe Zi-ka-wei Museum, near Shanghai. 



rtero2>us maccissaricus, Heude ; 1896. — From the description 

 clearly a member of the Pt. hypomelanus group. One of ten 

 specimens examined by Heude had " le dos d'un ronx fonce ainsi 

 que la poitrine et le ventre," i. e. belonged to the dark phase. 



Remarks. — In the skull, teeth, size, and colour of the head, 

 mantle, and back, this race is similar to the Philippine form, Pt. h. 

 cuffaijamis, but the undcrparts average rather paler. In this latter 

 point it shows decidedly leanings to its eastern neighbour, Pt. h. 

 Jii/pomelanus.
