HEMIGALE MINOR sp. nov. 

 (Plate III, figure 2) 



Type. — Adult female (skin and skull). No. 121,651, United States 

 National Museum. Collected on South Pagi Island, Sumatra, De- 

 cember 27, 1902, by Dr. W. L. Abbott. Original number, 2173. 



Characters. — Like Hemigale hardzvickii Gray, but smaller and 

 darker. 



Color. — Type : upperparts and outer surface of legs a bufify gray, 

 much less yellow than that of Hemigale hardzvickii. The exact shade 

 is not easy to describe, but it is a mixture of broccoli-brown or pale 

 isabella-color and grayish white, the former beneath the surface, the 

 latter at the tips of the hairs. Dark markings clear black, exactly 

 as in Hemigale hardzvickii except that they are all wider and those 

 of head and neck are ill-defined, owing to their tendency to spread 

 over the intervening gray. Underparts light brownish bufif, or pale, 

 yellowish isabella-color, the tips of most of the hairs grayish white, 

 these most noticeable on throat and forepart of chest. Inner sur- 

 face of legs an indefinite yellowish gray. Feet broccoli-brown 

 washed with bufify gray. Tail blackish brown except for two gray- 

 ish rings at base and a grayish ventral area extending about to 

 middle. Ears dusky brownish outside, dull buffy gray inside. 



Skull and teeth. — Except for its smaller size the skull (pi. iii, 

 fig. 2) closely resembles that of Hemigale hardzvickii (pi. iii, fig. i) 

 in general appearance. The audital bullae are, however, less ele- 

 vated above surface of basioccipital (when skull is held upside
