 Juv. Midnapur 



The allocation of these skulls, without any provenance, to this form 

 is of course quite hypothetical. They are considerably smaller than those 

 of P. p. philippensis from Travancore. A third skull also marked 

 as oral is that of a species of Ratufa, probably R. gigantea. 



9043. Zoological Gardens, Calcutta ; skin and skull. 



This is only a one-third grown specimen and is marked as coming 

 from Assam ; this however is probably only the locality of the species, 

 Hy. alhoniger, with which it has been identified.
