A specimen of the clawless otter, a young adult female, Cat. No. 

 151879, was taken on Pulo Laut. The teeth are moderately large, 

 about the size found in a specimen from the Kinabatangan Kiver, 

 northern Borneo. 1 The shape of the ascending ramus of the mandible 

 closely resembles that of a specimen from Pulo Setoko, Rhio-Linga 

 Archipelago. 1 The skull is smaller than skulls of other clawless 

 otters in the collection, but it is not so old. 



Measurements. — Head and body, 460 mm.; tail, 310; hind foot, 

 95; weight, 5J pounds, equals 2.5 kilos; basal length of skull, 79.3; 

 zygomatic width, 58.9; maxillary toothrow (alveoli), 29.6.

 tawny ochraceous; head, including ear, whitish or cream color; tail, 

 between clay color and ochraceous, with the terminal third buffy.

Doctor Abbott collected two specimens of the yellow-throated 

 marten in southwestern Borneo and one in southeastern Borneo. 

 By a singular coincidence the three Bornean specimens are all females, 

 and two from Sumatra are both males. There are no essential 

 differences between the skins from the different islands. One of the 

 Bornean specimens, however, Cat. No. 145579, from Gunong Palung, 

 is generally darker than any of the others, and the anterior portions 

 of the upper parts are practically as dark as are the posterior por- 

 tions and tail. The other four are distinctly bicolor above. The 

 skulls and teeth of the Sumatra martens, the males, are distinctly
