ON MAMMALS FROM EAST-SUMATRA. 29 



Dr. Günther, P. Z. S. L. , 1876, p. 427, distinguished 

 three varieties of Tupaja tana Raffles , viz. : tana , speciosa 

 and chrysura. The latter is from the Mainland of Borneo , 

 opposite to Labuan and figured on Plate XXXVI. I find 

 in Dr. Hagen's collection a specimen of T. ferruginea with 

 a golden yellow tail , with a reddish tinge , like Dr. Giin- 

 ther's variety of T. tana. If naturalists think it necessary 

 to give a name to every variety of a given species , what 

 is impracticable in my view, the mentioned specimen may 

 be entitled Tupaja ferruginea , var. chrysura.
