The range of Pt. h. lepidus is now known to extend over the 

 Tambelan Islands (Saddle I., Big Tambelan I.) and the following 

 islands along the east coast of the Malay Peninsula : Aor, Tioman, 

 Lantinga, Great Redang, and Perhentian. For an account of the 

 individual variations in colour and size as exhibited in a series of 

 specimens from all these islands see the writer's "Notes on twenty- 

 three specimens of Pt. h. lejndus," in Journal of the Federated Malay 

 f^tates Museums, iv. pp. 212-218 (Nov. 1911).

Similar to Pt. h. fomesi, hut mantle, breast, and belly consider- 

 ably lighter in colour. The same character discriminates it from 

 Pt. h. condoren-iis, from which it is further distinguished by the 

 more blackish, less brown colour of the back. From Pt. h. canus 

 and lepidns it is separable by tiie much darker colour of the back 

 (greyish s])rinkling thin or sometimes practically absent), the lighter 

 colour of the mantle, breast, and belly, and the perfectly normal 

 size of the teeth. Finally, it is easily recognizable from Pt. h. an- 

 nectens by the much darker colour of the back.
