256 TRICHOMANIS HOEVENII. 



NOTE XXXIV. 

 ON TRICHOMANIS HOEYENII HUBR. 



A letter was read, addressed to the Secretary by Dr. A. 

 A. W. Hubrecht, F. M. Z. S. , calling attention to the 

 account of a supposed new Mammal from Sumatra by him, 

 published in the » Notes from the Leyden Museum" (vol. 

 XIII, p. 241), under the belief that it would turn out to 

 be an unknown species of Edentate, and which he had 

 proposed to call Trichomanis hoevenii. Further inquiries and 

 information received from Mr. Pruys van der Hoeven (after 

 whom the supposed new animal had been named) had 

 convinced Dr. Hubrecht that it was an Arctonyx (A. col- 

 lar is) , and that no further hopes could be entertained of 

 the existence of an unknown Edentate in the forests of 

 Sumatra.
