  band. 
  Occiput 
  black 
  and 
  

   sharply 
  defined 
  from 
  the 
  light 
  frontal 
  band, 
  so 
  differing 
  from 
  

   the 
  majority 
  of 
  specimens 
  of 
  P. 
  javanicus, 
  where 
  the 
  light 
  

   frontal 
  band 
  is 
  very 
  broad 
  and 
  gradually 
  passes 
  into 
  the 
  

   grey 
  occiput.

  A 
  small 
  species 
  related 
  to 
  P. 
  hermaphroditus 
  of 
  Siam, 
  but 
  

   with 
  a 
  different 
  skull 
  and 
  dentition. 
  

  

  Skull 
  with 
  very 
  short 
  intertemporal 
  constriction 
  as 
  in 
  

   P. 
  milltri 
  from 
  Tioman. 
  Bullae 
  very 
  short, 
  rounded 
  in 
  front, 
  

   and 
  inflated 
  between 
  carotic 
  canal 
  and 
  foramen 
  lacerum 
  

   posterius. 
  Cheek-teeth 
  small. 
  P 
  4 
  complex; 
  postero-internal 
  

   ledge 
  narrow, 
  paracone 
  rather 
  small. 
  

  

  Upper 
  parts 
  light 
  silvery 
  grey 
  with 
  a 
  slight 
  reddish 
  hue. 
  

   Three 
  narrow 
  dark 
  brown 
  longitudinal 
  stripes, 
  clearly 
  made 
  

   up 
  of 
  coalescing 
  spots. 
  Light 
  frontal 
  band 
  narrow, 
  sharply 
  

   distinguished 
  from 
  the 
  dark 
  occiput.

  three- 
  

   quarters

  (" 
  Type

  In 
  a 
  specimen 
  from 
  Nhatrang, 
  Annam, 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  

   Museum, 
  and 
  in 
  another 
  from 
  Song-Coy, 
  district 
  of 
  Moy, 
  

   Annam, 
  kindly 
  lent 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Trouessart 
  of 
  Paris, 
  the 
  colour 
  

   is 
  entirely 
  different, 
  although 
  in 
  the 
  Paris 
  specimen 
  the 
  skull 
  

   is 
  like 
  the 
  type 
  skull 
  ; 
  the 
  Nhatrang 
  skull 
  is 
  too 
  young 
  for 
  

   comparison. 
  1 
  append 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  the 
  Paris 
  specimen, 
  

   which 
  is 
  very 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  Nhatrang 
  one 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Upper 
  parts 
  an 
  indefinite 
  whitish 
  yellow, 
  with 
  five 
  longi- 
  

   tudinal 
  rows 
  of 
  black 
  spots. 
  Limbs 
  and 
  tail, 
  except 
  at 
  the 
  

   base, 
  black. 
  Style 
  of 
  markings 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  type. 
  Underfur 
  

   dark 
  greyish 
  brown. 
  The 
  identity 
  of 
  these 
  apparently 
  very 
  

   different 
  colour-phases, 
  which 
  are 
  not 
  quite 
  uncommon 
  in 
  

   Paradoxures, 
  is 
  proved 
  by 
  the 
  skull 
  above 
  described.
