24 ON MAMMALS FROM EAST-SUMATRA. 



layan Peninsula. Another specimen , figured by Gray in 

 1849, was one of the scientific results of the Voyage of 

 the Samarang; it had been collected in Borneo. The lower 

 jaw of a skull of another specimen has been figured by 

 de Blainville in his Ostéographie , but he did not mention 

 the origin. 



I have a third locality to add to the two hitherto known 

 ones , viz. : Siak , as Dr. Hagen presented to the Museum 

 a beautiful adult female with its skull from that locality. 

 Length of the skull 91 mm., width at zygomatic arches 

 52 mm. ; also about the dimensions given by Gray in his 

 Catalogue of Carnivorous a. s. o. Mammalia, 1869, p. 154. 



16. C 'y no gale bennettii Gray. 



Gray described this species after a specimen in the Bri- 

 tish Museum from Sumatra, as he wrote in 1837; it seems 

 however that the named locality was incorrect , for in the 

 Catalogue of the Bones of Mammalia, 1862, the skull, 

 belonging to a specimen of this species in the British 

 Museum had Borneo for locality , agreeing with the habi- 

 tat given by Gray for the specimen in the Catalogue of 

 Carnivorous a. s. o. Mammalia, 1869. In the » Verhan- 

 delingen , etc." has been described and figured another 

 specimen , under the name of Potamophilus barbatus , too 

 from Borneo. So that up to the year 1882 Borneo was 

 the certain patria. In 1882 however Dr. Hagen procured 

 a young specimen from Tandjong-Morawa , Deli. Its skull 

 is in our Museum. 



17. P ut o r iu s nu dip e s Cuvier. 



Specimens from Tandjong-Morawa. 



It is not very clear why Dr. Gray changed Cuvier's 

 specific title and called the species Gi/mnopus leucocephalus , 

 see P. Z. S. L. 1865, p. 119. 



Known from Sumatra and Borneo.
