No. I—ADDITIONS TO THE MAMMALIAN FAUNA 
OF RATBURI. 
During the period December-June 1915 the following mam- 
mals were obtained in the Sai Yoke district of Ratburi, additional to 
the List published in the Journal Vol. 1. No. 3. 
Presbytis Phayrei, Phayre’s Leaf monkey. (Siamese, ‘‘Karng”) 
M. 1. F. 1. with fully developed foetus. 
This species was obtained in N. Lat 14° 40° on the range of 
mountains east of Si-sa-wad (vide Map frontispiece Vol. 1. No. 3.), but 
was not observed west of that range. Both were obtained in ever- 
green forest at an elevation of 1000 metres, and probably at the south- 
ern limit of the species. 
Specimens obtained agreed very closely with Col. Tickell’s descrip- 
tion and measurements of an adult female obtained east of Moulmein, 
and in his sketch he emphasizes the dark colour of the hands and feet, 
as opposed to the light body colour. Blanford, in Fauna B.I., adopted 
Col. Tickell’s sketch for the species, but seems rather uncertain as to 
whether Col. Tickell’s animal may not have been 8. albocinereus. 
Even if the southern form shows no structural difference from 
the Northern or Arakan type, yet the colour of the southern appears 
to be constantly lighter. A description of freshly killed specimens is 
as follows :— 
Back, sides, flanks and tail, light silvery grey. Legs and 
forearms, darker grey. Hands and feet, almost black. Hyebrows 
and forehead, brownish. Orbital skin, dark bluish. Upper lip from 
nostrils down, and all lower lip, pinkish flesh-colour. ars, very dark 
brown. Callosities, dirty yellow. Inguinal region, bluish white, and 
female with the triangular sex mark down inners of thighs as in 
P. Germaini. Hair of poll produced into a median crest, the apex of 
which is slightly in front of ears. Whiskers long, almost concealing 
ears from the front. Tail slightly tufted. 
The male measured as follows:—Length 22.5 in. Tail 30.5 
Hand 5. Foot 6.75. The fully developed foetus ( obtained 19/5/15 ) 
was in colour light fawn or straw colour, the extremity of tail being 
greyish chestnut. 
Arctictis binturong. The Bear Cat (Karang ‘“ Ka-cheu”’). 1 
flat skin. 1 skull. 
Both specimens were obtained by surveyors near Sai Yoke, 
though the Karangs are well acquainted with the animal and state it 
is generally distributed in evergreen forest. 
In 1914 I received a skull from Pachin in Eastern Siam, and 
Blanford also records the species from Siam. Recently the Bombay 
N. H.S. Survey has obtained 2 skins without skulls near Tenasserim 
village. 
Blanford states that the head and body measure 28-33 in., tail
