TUPAIA SPLENDIDULA Gray. 



18G5. Tupaia splendidula Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1865, p. 322. Type- 

 locality, Borneo, probably northern. 



Three specimens, two from the Saratok River, Pamukang Bay, and 

 one from the Kendawangan River. 



Mr. Oldfield Thomas, of the British Museum, has kindly compared 

 one of the specimens with Gray's type. He remarks: 



Comparing 151884 with the type of splendidula, it is the best match to that trouble- 

 some species which I have yet seen, the color being identical (allowing for a slight 

 bleaching from black to brown in the old specimen), and the hind feet practically the 

 same length. The skull of splendidula is, however, certainly rather larger, as you say, 

 but it is a very old specimen. There is no difference other than size that I can see. 

 Condylo-basal length of 151884, 42.5; of splendidula, 44.2. 



The largest of the three specimens collected by Doctor Abbott was 

 sent to Mr. Thomas, but the difference in size between the type of 

 splendidula and the three specimens from southern Borneo is so 

 slight and the material so limited that it can be attributed to indi- 

 vidual variation only.

TUPAIA LONGIPES (Thomas). 



1893. Tupaia ferruginea longipes Thomas, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, vol. 11, p. 

 343, May, 1893. 



Five specimens, two from southwestern and one from southeastern 

 Borneo. Tupaia discolor Lyon, 1 from Banka, is very close to this 

 form, and in the original description should have been compared with 

 it. A specimen of the present series was sent to Mr. Oldfield Thomas. 

 He remarks as follows: 



With regard to longipes the differences you note are quite true as far as the type is 

 concerned, but a later specimen from the same region has practically the same warm 

 color on fore back, the same Jiypochrysa-like chest, and the same grayish tail. The 

 skulls are identical, and the size the same.

TUPAIA CARIMATjE Miller. 



1906. Tupaia carimatse Miller, Proc. U. S. Nat, Mus., vol. 31, p. 61, July 23, 

 1906. 



In addition to the original series of Tupaia carimatse. collected in 

 1904, Doctor Abbott took one other specimen in 1908. 

 (For measurements see table, p. 123.) 



TUPAIA INFLATA Lyon. 



1906. Tupaia infiata Lyon, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 31, p. 600, December 18, 

 1906. 



A specimen of a small Tupaia taken on Karimata Island in 1908 

 does not differ essentially from T. infiata of Banka and Billiton
