 11. November, 1822. (Sumatra.) 



One specimen (an old female with much worn teeth) of a large 

 Traguhis was taken on Linga Island on July 23. It is probably 

 identical with the T. napii of F. Cuvier, the type of which was col- 

 lected in Sumatra. In color it is more yellow than the specimens 

 described by Cuvier, though not approaching the red tints of the 

 Tioman form. It measures as follows: head and body 533 (tail 

 lacking) ; hind foo<" i30 (105) ; ear from meatus 34; ear from crown 

 30; width of ear 33. Skull: greatest length 114; basal length 106; 

 basilar length 99; occipito-nasal length 104; length of nasals 34; 

 breadth of nasals anteriorly 9 ; breadth of nasals posteriorly 1 1 ; me- 

 dian length of bony palate (measured from tip of premaxillary) 72 ; 

 width of palate between anterior premolars 1 7 ; width between pos- 

 terior molars 21 ; diastema 15; zygomatic breadth 48 ; least interor- 

 bital breadth 30 ; breadth between outer edges of paroccipital proc- 

 esses 32; greatest length of audital bulla 23.4; greatest width of 

 audital bulla 13.4; distance between anterior extremities of audital 

 bullae 11; least distance between audital bullis ^.^^ depth from 

 parietal to lower edge of audital bulla 38 ; depth from upper rim of 

 orbit to alveolus of last molar 34.4 ; depth of rostrum at middle of 

 diastema 18; mandible 90; maxillary toothrow (alveoli) 34; man- 

 dibular toothrow (alveoli) 39.6. 



TRAGULUS RUFULUS sp. nov. 



Type. — Young adult' male (skin and skull). No. 101767 United 

 States National Museum. From Tioman Island. Collected Septem- 

 ber 30, 1S99. 



Characters. — Related to Traguhcs napii but smaller and more 

 brightly colored ; middle permanent upper premolar with inner root 

 nearly opposite posterior outer root, and whole form of crown propor- 

 tionally altered. 



Color. — Upper parts bright tawny red, closely approaching the 

 orange-rufous of Ridgway on back, rump, tail, and outer side of 

 thighs, slightly paler on cheeks, neck and outer side of front 

 legs, duller on crown and face. Sides fading to ochraceous-buff. 

 Except on neck and legs the hairs of this tawny area are everywhere 

 tipped with black, which produces a distinct but irregular clouding 

 ^ Permanent dentition fully in place but practically unworn.
