miller] seventy new MALAYAN MAMMALS 59 



details of form are, however, in essential agreement with the skull 

 of Tupaia ferruginca. 



Measurements. — External measurements of type: total length, 

 345; head and body, 205; tail vertebrje, 140; hind foot, 44.4 (42). 

 External measurements of an adult male (No. 197,138) from the 

 type locality : total length, 335 ; head and body, 197 ; tail vertebrae, 

 138; hind foot, 44 (42). 



Cranial measurements of type: greatest length, 56 (49.4),^ basal 

 length, 49 (44) ; basilar length, 48 (42) ; palatal length, 30.6 (26.4) ; 

 diastema, 5 (4.2) ; least distance from rim of orbit to tip of premaxil- 

 lary, 26.6 (22.6) ; breadth of palate between middle molars, 9 (8.6) ; 

 least interorbital breadth, 15 (14.8) ; zygomatic breadth, 26.6 (25) ; 

 breadth of braincase above roots of zygomata, 20 (19) ; mandible, 

 38 (33) ; maxillary toothrow exclusive of incisors, 20 (18) ; man- 

 dibular toothrow exclusive of incisors, 20 (18.6). 



Specimens examined. — Ten, all from the Pagi Islands. 



Remarks. — This series shows no important variation in color. In 

 a few specimens there is a faintly indicated shoulder stripe, but in 

 the majority, as in the type, there is no trace of this. The under- 

 parts are occasionally less bright than in the type, and the indefinite 

 brown wash on sides of belly varies slightly in amount. Occasionally 

 there is a slight grayish tinge at axilla. 



This species needs comparison with only one other, the Tupaia 

 hypochrysa of Thomas. In the Javan animal, however, the yellow 

 of the underparts is " a rich golden colour, almost ' orpiment orange ' 

 of Ridgway," and is confined to the throat and chest. The rest of 

 the coloration is said to be similar to that of Tupaia ferruginea. 

 This would make the upperparts lighter than in T. chrysogaster, and 

 the under side of the tail gray instead of yellowish brown. 



TUPAIA CERVICALIS sp. nov. 



Type. — Adult male (skin and skull), No. 121,754, United States 

 National Museum. Collected on Tana Bala, Batu Islands, Sumatra, 

 February 14, 1903, by Dr. W. L. Abbott. Original number, 2294. 



Characters. — Like Tupaia tana, but gray neck markings paler, 

 more extensive, and more conspicuous ; black of back more sharply 

 defined from red of sides, and teeth larger. 



Color. — Type: the general color of underparts, tail, and back is 

 essentially as in Tupaia tana, and requires no detailed description. 



1 Measurements in parenthesis are those of an adult female Tupaia fer- 

 ruginea from Singapore (No. 105,079).
