Seven examples collected between th< end 1 1 February 

 and the middle of March: Like T. j. nupu of the adjacent 

 mainland but rather brighter generally, the sides mi 

 the colour of the back, not greyish. Nape stripe obs' lete, in 

 some instances only just traceable: under side of body some- 

 times with a broad brownish band as in T. j. umbrinus, but 

 the chevron of the foreneck paler and much grizzled with 

 ochraceous as in T.j. napu. 



One example i»s abnormal: on the foreneck the mi 

 white stripe is represented by a few hairs only, the rest of the 

 neck between the white lateral stripes being blackish-brown 

 grizzled with ochraceous. 



Twelve examples collected in December: much darker 

 than the above owing to a general increase in pigmentation, the 

 uppei parts is dark or darker than dark Bornean animals 

 l), the neck chevron much blacker ind the middle pari 

 of the under body mon fulvi cenl the latter area 



being slightly suffused with black .1-". Two specimens have 

 the foreneck coloured as in the abnormal example mentioned 

 above: in one of them the lateral white stripes are merely 

 represented by two small patches. 



Though the two series look notably differenl all the 

 animals are easily separable from the mainland race by their 

 yellowish (not grey) sides. The differences in colour inter se 

 appears to indicate that thei '"1 that 



the change from dark to light phase takes pi ice about January. 



Probably a triile smaller than the mainland race: the 

 largest specimen examined has the hindfoot, c. u., 135 mm: 

 the greatest length of skull in mm: a large Malayan napu 

 measures 150 and 118 mm. respectively. 



Habitat: T. nil. 111 Island, north of Langkawi Island. 

 Wesl Coast of the Malav Peninsula.
