CYNOPTERUS BRACHYOXIS IXSDLAKUM. 623 



Colour (uine adult mules, seven adult females, skins). — Indi- 

 viduals dating from the months of October, November, December, 

 Januar)', and March do not differ appreciably in colour from 

 avernp;e specimens of C. h. hracJn/oiis fp. 618). JBut Angnst 

 individuals (ten skins) are conspicuously paler than Irachyotis 

 from the same season (August, five skins ; July, fourteen) : Jiack 

 Isabella largely suffused with golden tawny-olive, or even light 

 wood-brown suffused with huffy tawjiy-olive ; head usuall}' darker 

 brown than back, more approaching olive or bistre ; centre of 

 breast and belly drab or broccoli-brown, either uniform or washed 

 with pale tawny-ollvc; sides of neck, foreneck, and flanks as usual 

 varying from ochraceous (in females even huffy ochraceous) to 

 cinnamon-rufous or light chestnut. Whether this indicates really 

 an ordinary seasonal bleaching of the fur or is due entirely or 

 chiefly to local influences (all the August skins of javanicus are 

 from Buitenzorg) is open to question.
