Diagnosis. — Allied to Pt. gramfis, but canines muo.li slenderer nt 

 base, i., and p, smaller, cbeek-teeth narrower, np])erside of tibia 

 more sj'ur.'sely haired, colour of fur paler. Back dark brownisb, 

 rump similar or much paler ; breast and belly some shade ol 

 cinuamon-rufous or chestnut or seal-brown, rarely uniform, 

 generally distinctly darker in centre than on sides of breast and 

 belly ; head and neck all round tawny or tawny ochraceous, con- 

 trasting Avith darker back, ilalcs without bright-coloured neck- 

 tults. Forearm l(i3-17'j"r) mm. I/ab. Amboina grouj). 



Skull. — Size and general characters as in Pt. rubiniius and 

 (frandis, but orbits slightly larger, rostrum longer ; orbital diameter 

 lo-lo'o ram. (l;5 8-l4'S in Pt. ruhi.arnis aiul qivdidis), rostruin 

 from front of orbit to tip of nasals 20-29 (22'6-24), palate from 

 palation to incisive foramina 87-39 (34'."i-3(3"2). 



Ti'tth. — Upper incisors smaller than in Pt. rubiauns and (/randltt. 

 Canines above and belovr practically of the same height as in the 

 allied species, but considerably slenderer at base and with much 

 narrower cingula ; antero-posterior basal diameter of upj)er canines 

 4-4*8 mm., against 5 5'0 in Pt. ruhianns and grandis; of lower 

 canines 3-3-8, against 4-4"5. i., and p^ conspicuously smaller ; 

 i., once and a half or nearly twice (in l^t. rnlnanas and graiiditi 

 twice and a half or nearly three times) the bnlk of ij ; crown of ]\ 

 2'o-28 X 2-2-2"4 mm. (in Pt. ruhianun and grandis 2-8-3-3 x 

 2'7 ;'))• i)'-m' and p^-na., scarcelj- shorter than in the allied 

 species, but considerably narrower; see detailed measurements 

 p. 2(54. 



Fur. — Length and distribution of fur essentially as in Pt. ruhianus 

 and grandis, but upperside of tibia thinly bailed or naked. 



Colour. — cT ad. skin, Burn, teeth somewhat worn, 97. 12. H.I : — - 

 General colour of hack glossy dark burnt-nmbor. Individual hairs 

 tawny or tawny cinnamon-rufous at base, seal-brown at ti]). 

 Owing to a gradual increase, in direction from front of back to 

 lump, in the length of the pale-coloured bases of the hairs and 

 corresponding decrease in the length of the dark tips, the colour 

 becomes more and more distinctly tinged with golden tawny on 

 po-;ieiior portion of back near rr.mp. ibis latli^' tinge again shading
