9479. Hambalotte, Ceylon (E. L. Layard) [C] ; skin and portions of skull. 



This specimen is evidently Layard's type but is so deteriorated that 

 but little can be made out of it. The head to level of ears is ferruginous 

 and the dorsal stripes very clearly defined and rather broad, the central 

 one narrower. The face, however, does not appear to be ferruginous 

 as stated in Thomas and Wroughton's key (loc. cit. supra.). 



9.52.3. Ceylon (Colombo Mus.) [P.] , skin and skull. 



This specimen agrees with the above type but has the ferruginous 

 cap not quite so pronounced. All three back stripes buffy white, the 

 median one paler. Midrib of tail rufous nearly to the tip.

9521 (A. S. B.). Ceylon (R. Templeton) ; skin and fragmentary skull, also an- 

 other skull with this number. 



This specimen recorded by W. L. Sclater {Cat. Mamm. Ind. Mus., 

 II, p. 25 ; 1891) as one of the types of F. p. kelaarti is obviously not so. 

 It is, allowing for deterioration in both specimens, a much darker, richer 

 coloured specimen than Layard's type, with broader bufTy stripes and 

 with no ferruginous cap. AVe have therefore assigned it to this race.
