contains a second example, also from Ceram, received witli 

 the Tomes collection, and probably collected by Dr. A. R. 

 Wallace. 



Mogera hainana, sp. n. 



Intermediate in size between M. insularis and latouchei. 



Colour as in M. latouchei or faintly browner. Tail 

 shorter than in either of the allied species. 



Skull with a size-index * of about 460-470, those of 

 latouchei and insularis being 390-406 and 483-496 respec- 

 tively. Outer corners of brain-case rounded, not sharply 

 angular. Small upper premolars set obliquely, crowded, 

 overlapping, the first longer than the other two, and more or 

 less completely two-rooted. 



Dimensions of the type (measured on skin) : — 



Tail 7 mm.; breadth of fore foot 14; hind foot (s. u.) 16. 



Skull: greatest length 306; breadth of brain-case 15; 

 interorbital breadth 7; palatal length 12*3; front of canine 

 to back of m? ]0'6. 



Hub. Hainan. Type from Mount Wuchi. 



Type. Adult female. Original number 3. Collected 

 12th November, 1906, by a native employed by Mr. Alan 

 Owston. Four specimens. 



That the mole of Hainan should be a distinct species is 

 quite natural, as the nearest forms geographically are 

 M. latouchei of N.W. Fo-kien and M. insularis of Formosa. 

 It is, however, curious that while those moles are distinguished 

 from their North Chinese and Japanese relatives by having 

 their anterior premolar small and single-rooted, the new 

 species, the most southern of all, should resemble in this 

 respect the more northern forms. 



Tragulus versicolor, sp. n. 



Larger than kanchil, smaller than uapu. Anterior half of 

 body fulvous, posterior grey. 



Size little exceeding that of members of the kanchil group, 

 of which T. k. affinis is the local representative, far less than 

 is usual in the napu group, to which T. versicolor seems to 

 belong. Fur, especially that of the neck and throat, coarse 

 and harsh, as in the napu group. Coloration above quite 

 unique in the genus, the head and anterior half of the body 

 fulvous (nearest to " ochraceous buff") as far back as just 

 behind the shoulders ; the colour then changes abruptly to 

 grey, clear grey (about no. 6) on the sides, slightly suffused
