which is besides continued backwards into a narrow streak ; and the 

 yellow band along the middle of the belly. These characters arė 

 common to two specimens of diiferent ages in the collection of the 

 British Museum. The lateral white streaks on the fore part of the 

 chest are linear, the raedian one subtriangular, being narrow in front 

 and widening backwards. The two dark streaks by -vvhich they are 

 separated are hnear, of the šame colour with the sides of the neck, 

 and do not unite together in front.

Very Hke the lašt, but diiFering from it in the under surface beinę 

 pale fulvous with four white streaks, and in the lateral streaks on the 

 chest being isolated anteriorly by means of a narrow transverse band 

 ■vvhich separates them from the white of the chin, while the median 

 one is bounded in front by the union of the two dark streaks. 

 There is also a small brown spot on each side of the chin just below 

 the angle of the mouth, which is not found in the other species. 

 The fawns only a few weeks old do not difFer in colour from their 

 parents. None of the three specimens in the collection of the British 

 Museum have their habitats accurately marked. Two of them were 

 from the collection of General Hardwicke, and the third was pre- 

 sented by Mr. Edward Burtonof Chatham. Mr. Gray thinks it pro- 

 bable that this may be the animal indicated by Sir Stamford Raffles 

 under the name of Pelandoc.

This is immediately distinguishable from all the other species by 

 the brightness of its colouring, and by the absence of the nuchal 

 streak, and of the 'vvhite on the under surface of the body. There 

 are at present four living specimens in the magnificent collection of 

 the Earl of Derby at Knowsley ; and two others, consisting of a spe- 

 cimen of each of the varieties, in that of the Society, to -vvhich they 

 were recently presented by Her Royal Highness the Princess Victo- 

 ria. It is not known from -vvhat exact locality any of them were 

 obtained.
