Only one specimen is available: it differs from the 

 Battam race principally in having the top oi the face and 

 head blackish and a somewhat blackened nape tripe; the 

 clear colour of the neck does not extend on to the withers, 

 which are darkened, the chevron of the foreneck i consider- 

 ably more blackened, the collar is broader and th< b 

 darker, more blackened fulvous. The form is somewhat 

 variable and some individual- closely approach Battam 

 animals.

This is the most brilliantly coloured of all mouse-deer, 

 exceeding both stanleynnus and formosus in richness of tone. 

 Neck deep ochraceous-orange, upper parts of body orange- 

 rufous, rump and tail brilliant rurous brown: the black 

 clouding which obsi m - the colour of the body is variable; in 

 one or two examples of a large series it is practically absent; 

 it is always slight on the limbs. The top of the head is like 

 the back and generally there is a faintly indicated nape 

 stripe of orange-rufous. Thi fori at '■ marl ings are like the 

 sides of the neck but the chevron 1 slightly 



sprinkled with black. The undersidi oi the body is primarily 

 white but in various ways there is an encroachment of fulvous : 

 in only one exampli does the lattei colour completely cover 

 the belly between breast and inguinal regions, though the 

 white between these areas is not infrequently reduced to two 

 broad elongate patch.- separated by a fulvous median area 

 which is generally Marl. nail. 



This character, as well as the nape stupe and brighter 

 colour, separates rufulus from the Battam and Bintang 

 animals: otherwise it would have some claims for consider- 

 ation as stanleyanus : but it is highly improbable that material 

 from such a little known and remote island as Tinman ever 

 came to the notice of Europeans in the middle of last century.
