Typical locality Java. 



Miller has stated that Hamilton Smith's Moschvs pelandoc 

 cannot be definitely identified, but that it appears to be 

 nearly allied to the typical Sumatran T. kanchil; and he 

 accordingly proposed a new name for such specimens of 

 Javau kanchils as came under his observation. Until, how- 

 ever, the so-called T. focalinus can be definitely proved to 

 be distinct from T. k. pelandoc, it may be regarded as 

 inseparable therefrom. 



A grey-necked race specially characterised by the great 

 width and distinctiveness of the tawny eyebrow-stripes and 

 the contrast between the grizzled grey of the neck and the 

 tawny head and body ; no dark nuchal stripe ; throat- 

 markings normal. General colour raw-sienna, gradually 

 paling, through bufl', to creamy buff on flanks ; hairs drab 

 with black tips, the latter producing a faint dark clouding 

 on back but not on flanks ; neck coarsely grizzled grey, the 

 hairs black with a huffish terminal or subterminal ring; 

 crown blackish, its hair with inconspicuous tawny annula- 

 tions ; skull with a shorter muzzle and narrower auditory 

 bullae than in typical race. 



Bonhote remarked that one specimen which came under 

 his notice resembled the type of the present race on the 

 throat and the typical kanchil on the nape.
