This is a J'Oiing exam[)le, still retaining in part its milk denti- 

 tion, of the largest of Asiatic badgers hitherto only known by three 

 examples from Trang, Peninsular Siam (the type locality), and one 

 from Si-sa-\vat, Western Siam. The sjjecies is reported to occur in 

 Upper Perak but its northern limit, where it meets the smaller form ^1. 

 collaris, is unknown. 



In this young example the top of the muzzle to bej-ond the 

 crown, the upper edges ot the ears, an elongate patch beneath the ej-e, 

 chin, throat and fore-chest, sides of the neck to shoulders and the tail 

 are buffy-white. The rest of the long coarse pelage is black, slightlj' 

 tipped in places with buffy on the head and shoulders and thence 

 gradually changing to buflfy annulated with black posteriori}'. 



The dimensions of the type, an old female, are as follows : — 

 head and body, 1025 ; tail, 235 ; iiindfoot, 122. Skull: condylo-basal 

 length, 1G6 ; greatest breadth, 90.

This specimen of Tree-shrew agrees with others fi'om Bandon 

 which, as I have elsewhere pointed out (up. cit., sapnt. p. 113), are 

 much more feriuginous on the shoidders than tjpical I'-ilkiitsuni from 

 Trang : at the same time they do not approach, in intensity of colour, 

 the Southern ra.ce femujinea. 



Above, a speckle of black and ochraceous sulfused posterioily 

 with ferruginous : a butfstriiie from the neck to the shoulder. Under 

 surface buff, deepest on the median line. Tail annulated black anil bufify.
