Typical locality Port Blair, S. Andaman Island. 



Type in Indian Museum, Calcutta. 



A small race, standing about 20 inches at the shoulder, 

 and externally very similar to a dwarf *S'. cristatus, but 

 distinguished from that species by the simpler structure of 

 the last molar, which in the upper jaw normally carries only 

 two transverse ridges and a talon ; general colour blackish, 

 with a brown tinge on the mane. 



Miller, although regarding it as a member of the 

 >S^. vittatus group, emphasises the affinity of this race to the 

 Tenasserim form of >S'. cristatus.
