ON MAMMALS FROM EAST-SUMATRA. 23 



12. Paradox urns I euc o my st a x Gray. 



Toba-plains. 



Known from Sumatra and Borneo. 



13. Arctogale stigmatica Temminck. 



Tandjong-Morawa. 



As I remarked in the Notes from the Leyden Museum , 

 1885, p. 34, this species was formerly only known from 

 Borneo. 



14. Hemigalea der b y an a Gray. 



Tandjong-Morawa. 



Gray described in 1837 an animal from an unknown 

 locality under the name of Paradoxurus derbyanus and an- 

 other new species , Paradoxurus ? zebra , from a drawing - . 

 In the » Verhandelingen , 1839 — 1844", an animal has been 

 figured which had been described in 1838 by S. Muller as 

 Viverra boiei from Borneo. Later on (P. Z. S. L. 1864) 

 Gray united his two new species with Mfiller's species under 

 the name of Hemigalea hardwickii: under that title, Viverra 

 hardwickii, Gray had described a drawing said to have 

 been made after an animal from Malacca, found in the 

 collection of Major Farquhar, cf. Spie. zool. 1830. 



In our Museum are specimens from the two certain 

 localities , Sumatra and Borneo. 



15. Herpestes brachyurus Gray. 



The Musang turon, as this species is called on the Ma- 

 layan Peninsula, seems to be a very rare animal in the 

 countries where it lives , or very difficult to procure , as 

 only the following few specimens have been recorded. 



The type-specimen is in the British Museum and descri- 

 bed hy Gray in 1837 as inhabiting Indian islands. Cantor, 

 1846, recorded this species in his Catalogue from the Ma- 

 Notes from the f-.eyden Museum, Vol. XI.
