These agree well with the original diagnosis and show 

 that the race is very distinct from the mainland form and 

 seeing that the original account was based on the unique type 

 only it may be well to give a description of our series. 



General coloui much browner and less rufous that P.p. 

 melauotus (type locality here designated as Selangor), the 

 hairs on the middle of the sides with buff tips giving the effect 

 of a pale elliptical patch. Limbs chestnut brown, becoming 

 black on the metapodials and digits. Head varying from 

 greyish buff to cinnamon buff. Parachute like the back or 

 the limbs; uropatagium edged with black, edges of parachute 

 buffy grey ; tail like the back, extensively blackened distally 

 but the dark colour not sharply margined, bases of the hairs 

 throughout black, the base of the tail also washed with black. 

 Muzzle, chin and eve ring black, ears with proectote ochrace- 

 ous, metectote extensively black. Undersurface, pale salmon 

 orange, foreneck whitish, inner sides of limbs blackish brown.
