provided with a somevvhat naked, concave, subglandular, callous disk, 

 placed between the rami of the lower jaw, from ^vhich a baud ex- 

 tends to the fore part of the chin ; and they have no musk-bag. 

 Likę all the other species of the Linnean genus Moschus, they have 

 falše hoofs ; and most of them have the edges of the lower jaw, 

 three diverging bands on the chest, and the under surface of the 

 body more or less pūrely white. The species of this division scarcely 

 difFer in colour in the various stages of their growth ; the young 

 fawn resembling the adult in every particular except in size. 



In this division, the synonymy of which is extreinely confused, 

 Mr. Gray reckons four species, two of which he describes as new, 

 arranging and characterizing them as follows : 



MoscHUS Javanicus. Mosch. ferrugineus nigro variegatus ; colio 

 saturate brunneo griseo nehulato ; menti margine, strigis pec- 

 toralibus tribus postice latioribus, pectore, abdomine, femoribus 

 interne, cauddąue subtus, albis ; pedibus, capitis lateribus, prym- 

 ndque nitidlfulvis ; occipite nigrescenti. Long. corp. capitisąue 

 simul poli. 24 ; metatarsi 4^ poli.

This species, Mr. Gray statės, is at once known by its larger size, 

 pale colour, and the white of the entire under surface of the body. 

 with the exception of the two longitudinal dusky stripes which sepa- 

 rate the three white stripes of the chest from each other, and of a 

 simple narrow pale band across the chest. 



2. Moschus Kanchil. Mosch. fulvus. nigrescenti variegatus; mi- 

 chd strigd latd nigrd longitudinali; guld, colli corporisque lateribus, 

 pallide flavescentibus, pilis nigro-apiculatis ; antipedibus nitide 

 fulvis ; menti marginibus, strigis tribus pectoralibus, pectore, 

 abdomine, femoribus postice, cauddque subtus, albis ; pectore ab- 

 domineque strigd longitudinali, in illo saturatiore, in hoc palli- 

 diore. Long. capitis corporisąue simul poli. 20 ; metatarsi 3^ 

 poli.

This species Mr. Gray statės to be easily distmguishable from the 

 former by its smaller size ; darker colour; the strength and distinct- 

 ness of its nuchal streak ; the width of the band across its chest.
