Wroiigliton lias separated the Marbled Civet of the Shan 

 States, Tenasserini and the ilalay I'eninsiila from the Indian animal 

 on account of total absence of an}' j'ellow tinge in the ground colour 

 of the fur, tiie tips of the hairs being white, not buff}', so that the 

 general colour is pale grej^ witli black markings. 



Mr. 0. J. Aagaard has sent me, also from Bang Nara, a skull 

 said to be that of l'^. z. pruinosa; it is much larger than the other 

 and is jjrobably that of a male (measurements in parentheses). 



Head and body, 818 ; tail, 435 ; hind-fool, s.u., 121 ; ear, 51. 



Skull: greatest length, 142 (155); basal length, 130 (142); 

 zygomatic breadth, 67.5 (73) ; breadth of braincase, 39(43.5); maxil- 

 lary' tooth-row e.'iclusive of incisors (alveoli), 53 (63); greatest length 

 of upper sectorial, 14.7 (15.5).

The first of these Palm-Civets was sent me by Jl. U. 11. the 

 Prince of Chumporn and the others by Messrs. Williamson and Smith. 



I liave recorded them under Miller's name because on the whole 

 they are greyer, with less of a yellowish-brown tinge in the ground colour, 

 than animals of the Malay States which are typical licrmaphrodittis- 



At the same time it may be noted that the race is not a very 

 distinct one and (after examination of a series of paloi-civets ranging
