Exactly agrees with topotypes from Ti'ang. Colour above 

 mingled ochraceous and brownis^h-blaok, the pelage harsh and wiry 

 but not spiny: below white entending broadly to the wrists but not 

 reaching the hind feet, \vhich are white with distinct brown centres 

 above. Tail bicolored with a white tij) and clad with white hair except 

 on the dark portion.

29. Fpimys vociferans herberti, subsp. nov. 



Tiipe. Adult male (skin and skull). Author's No. 2053/CBK. 

 Collected at Pak Jong, Eastern Siam, 900 ft., on Dec. 1st, 1915. 



Characters. Differs from E. vociferans of Peninsular Siani in 

 being duller above with the white of the under surface extending on to 

 the muzzle and up the cheeks to the ej'es. 



Colour. Above clay-colour streaked with black by the tips of 

 the hairs, this grizzling most pronounced dorsaily ; the limbs duller 

 and hi'owner ; top of muzzle and a ring round the eye pale clove-brown. 

 Under surface white, this colour extending over the upper lip to 

 include the tip of the nose and part of the vibrissae roots and projecting 

 upwards to reach the daik ej-e-ring. Hands and feet white with 

 brown centres. Tail bicolored, the distal half white : tlie pale area 

 clad with white hairs. 



Remarls. I have compared the ty]ie, the only example ob- 

 tained, with a lartre .series from Trane: and the differences are so 

 mai'ked that it is necessarj- to recognise it as representing a distinct 

 race, which 1 have named after Mr. E. (f. Herbert, wliose collector was 

 principally' responsible for the excellent condition of tlie specimens in 

 this collection.
