Distrihution — Malay Peninsula. 



Among the specimens of Paradoxurus belonging to the old 

 collection of the Asiatic Society are four obtained from Malacca, 

 identified by Blyth as Paradoxurus musanga, on examining the 

 skulls, however, it was at once seen that these specimens were 

 really Paradoxurus macrodus of Gray, only known hitherto from a 

 single skull in the British Museum (Blanford P.Z.S., 1885, p. 801). 

 In external characters this species does not differ appreciably from 

 Paradoxurus hermaphroditus, but the skulls are at once distin- 

 guished by the large size of the teeth.

This species of Paradoxurus lately described by Blanford 

 (P. Z. S., 1885, p. 613), is at once distinguished from P. hermaphro- 

 ditus by the length of the anterior palatal foramina which extend 

 back to a line drawn through the middle of the ist pair of pre-
