\ MAGUS 169 



brown it is most probable that this individual belongs to that species, 

 which thus ranges over the southeastern peninsula of Celebes and its 

 outlying islands. My description taken from the type of brunescens 

 is as follows: "Head and upper parts, arms to elbows and thighs 

 dark brown tinged with umber; under parts and inner side of limbs 

 yellowish white; forearms, legs, hands and feet wood brown." Total 

 length, 544; tail, 44, (skin). 



In the Collection of the New York Museum, are five specimens of 

 this species : one adult male, three adult females, and one young female, 

 all obtained by Mr. Roy C. Andrews on Buton Island, off the south- 

 eastern coast of Celebes.
