 coast of the Malay Peninsula, *2nd Si|pt<iiilH r. I'M", l.v C. Itnlfn 

 Kloss. Original No. 3708. 



Chakacters. — Closely resemltU's T. hilniuji i-l, W'a^l., «ii Bunuali 

 and Tenasserim, Imt is smaller, tiic up|H'i- surfarc is hliu'litl\ nion- 

 tawny, the buif shoulder-stripes nuieh lar<,'t'rand niurf di.stinct ainl tlic 

 under-surface of the tail yellower. From T. j. nilkiiiMini, Kol». A 

 Kl.,* of Trany:, it is immediately separahlf liv its less rufou.s rump, 

 paler under-surfaee, and paler, less Idackish, tail. The latter aJHo 

 is alone sufficient to distinguish it from the dark«'r and shorter- tailixl 

 T. lacerioata, T. & "\V.,+ of the Langkawi and Terutau group. 



Colour. — Entire upper-parts a s^x^ckle of huflf and Idaek slightly 

 Avashed with tawny on rump and thighs, iielow, cream-lMifT tiiiginl 

 lemon yellow on throat and along median line of alMhniien : the 

 margins of abdomen like sides but paler and not anuuhited. Sides of 

 neck and behind ear, pale buff, this coloiu- e.xtending «)ver th«- upjwr 

 shoulder in the form of a striix'. Tail above a gri/.zl«' of buff- white 

 and black not concoloiu-ous with the rump, but blacker and less tawny ; 

 Ijelow the yellow predominates, the short hairs clutliing the vertebm* 

 being pure pale Imtt-white. 



Skull and Teeth.— Viewed from alK)ve the skull e.\u4tly r>-s«Miible>» 

 that of T. helangeri (as figured by Anderson, Zoul. Ke.^i'urehes. vol. ii. 

 plate 7) save that the extremity of the rostrum is a little bnmder. 

 Viewed laterally the interorbital region is depr»'ssed and the outline 

 of the cranium more curved, the entire (x-cipital region U-iiig U-ut 

 downwards. Compared with skulls of the ftrriKjinta group from the 

 Peninsula and islands south of Lower Tenasserim it is suuiller. IwvniK 

 the rostrum consideral)ly reduced in length, but there Ih uo uppnvi- 

 able difference in that portion of the skull posterior to. and iueludiug 

 the orbits. The teeth differ merely in size.
