Colour. — J ad. skin, Batu Caves, Selangor, August (1.3.9.1): 

 Back, occiput, aud crown brown-black, deepest (practically black) 

 on head ; breast, belly, and flanks greyish hair-brown : foreneck, 

 throat, and sides of neck pale brownish, somewhat contrasting 

 with colour of breast aud belly (sexual character). This is the 

 darkest specimen examined. 



2 ad. skin, same locality, September (8.2.25.4): Back, occiput, 

 and crown dark brownish bistre ; breast, belly, and flanks light 

 greyish hair-brown ; foreneck, throat, and sides of neck similar, 

 but very thinly haired, tlie skin everywhere showing through. — 

 A second adult female from same locality and date (8.2.25.5) and 

 an adult female from Nan, N. Siam, June (0.10.7.2), are closely 

 similar in colour. 



Individual colour variation not inconsiderable. In the whole 

 series examined the colour of the back and crown varies from dark 

 brown (a tinge darker than Trout's brown) without any admixture 

 of bistre or blackish to dark brownish bistre or even brown-black; 

 the colour of the breast, belly, and flanks from light greyish hair- 

 brown (approaching silvery grey), through broccoli-brown, to the 

 latter colour strongly tinged with pale bistre ; colour of the 

 "ruft"'' often deep raw-umber. The variations in colour seem to 

 be independent of the localities.
