Type Brit. Mus. 79. 5.3.11. Goll. Alfred H. Everett, 
Esq. 
This striking species has in a general way the skull of 7. 
tana and the external appearance of 7. ferrugénea, with the 
skins of which in fact the type has hitherto lain unnoticed in 
the Museum collection. ‘The distinctness of the two, how- 
ever, at once became apparent on direct comparison, and in 
describing it 1 have much pleasure in connecting with it the 
name of its collector, to whose labours we are so largely 
indebted for our knowledge of the zoology of this region. 
Since, as Mr. Everett ras shown f, the island of epalacean 
is not, zoologically considered, properly a part of the Philip- 
pine Archipelago, the present is, as far as I know, the first 
record of the genus Z’'wpada in that group. 
Tupaia picta, sp. n. 
Rather smaller than 7. jerruginea; more heavily built 
than 7’. dorsalis, General colour of back olive- grey, coarsely 
grizzled with yellowish; more rufous posteriorly. Centre of 
back with a distinct dorsal stripe extending from the withers 
to the rump, the stripe better defined than m 7” montana, 
but neither so long nor so sharply defined as in TZ. dorsalis. 
Head, hands, and feet dull grizzled olive; sides dark rufous ; 
a distinct shoulder -stripe present.. Underside grey, the hairs 
washed terminally with yellow ; chin and chest rich yellow 
* The most anterior premolar, Specimens in the Museum show that

this tooth changes in Tupaia, and is therefore clearly ®*~, the true "~~ of 
Carnivora and Insectivora never changing,
