upper molars high-crowned, with small additional column on 

 inner side. Young uniformly coloured or spotted. In old 

 animals the nasals develop a plate at the upper expanded 

 portion which tends to grow over the lachrymal vacuity of 

 the same side; in some of the smaller forms — notably the 

 Philippine — the vacuity is reduced to a mere slit. 



The distributional area includes the greater part of the 

 Oriental region, extending northwards into Sze-chuan.
