MAMMALS COLLECTED BY DR. W. L. ABBOTT 230 



the chestnut. In one specimen the chestnut is ahnost hidden by the 

 darker brown, though still visible beneath the surface when the fur is 

 disarranged. Another skin, probably melanistic, is nearly uniform 

 seal-brown throughout, though both chestnut of shoulders and gray 

 of back are still faintly indicated. 



Skjill and teeth. — The skull and teeth of Pteropus Icpidtis (fig. 16) 

 closely agree with that of Pterop2is condorensis as figured by Mat- 

 schie.^ The palate appears to be narrower and the teeth less robust. 



]\feasure??iefits. — For external measurements of Pteropus lepidzts^ 

 see table, page 240. 



Cranial measurements of type : greatest length 64 ; basal length 

 60; basilar length 58; median palatal length 36; palatal breadth 

 (between anterior molars) 11.4; zygomatic breadth 33.6; least inter- 

 orbital breadth in front of postorbital processes 8 ; least interorbital 

 breadth behind postorbital processes 7 ; breadth between tips of post- 

 orbital processes 21.6 ; greatest breadth of braincase above roots of 

 zygomata 22.8; greatest depth of braincase 17.8; occipital depth 

 1 1.8; depth of rostrum at middle of diastema 8 ; mandible 50; maxil- 

 lary toothrow (exclusive of incisors) 25 ; mandibular toothrow (ex- 

 clusive of incisors) 27.6; crown of third upper premolar 4.4 x 3; 

 crown of first upper molar 5.6 x 3; crown of first lower molar 

 4.4 X 2.4. 



Specijnens cxa?mned. — Four : one from Saddle Island, the rest 

 from Big Tambelan. 



Remarks. — This light bright colored species is evidently a near 

 relative of the sombre Pteropus condornesis. It apparently needs no 

 comparison with other species. 



SEMNOPITHECUS MAURUS (Schreber). 



1775. Simia maura Schreber, Saugthiere, i, pi. xxii B. 



One specimen (adult female, No. 101601) taken on Linga Island, 

 July 19, 1S99. 



MACACUS ' CYNOMOLGUS ' Auct. 



Two males of this species were taken on Linga Island, July 23, 

 1899, and another on Tioman Island, October 4. The Linga speci- 

 mens agree in all respects with those previously collected by Dr. 

 Abbott on the mainland. That from Tioman Island is smaller, but 

 the peculiar condition of the skull shows it to be a dwarfed and ab- 

 normal individual.
