The only specimen available (from Paku Saribas, Sarawak), 

 is both paler and darker than any Malayan race; the upper 

 parts having the fulvous element much more bufiy and the 

 blackish clouding much heavier and extending over the head, 

 neck, hind-limbs and tail: only the proximal parts of the fore- 

 legs are clear ochraceous orange and the hind-legs arc only 

 very slightly tinged with Sudan brown. Cheeks pale huffy, top 

 of head blackish-brown, nape stripe broad and black : neck- 

 chevron like the sides of neck but more blackened, collar like, 

 the sides of neck but less blackened ; a median ochraceous 

 patch on the abdomen joined to the collar by a narrow line: 

 remaining underparts white. 



This example is not typical as it differs from those described 

 by Bonhote (Baram River, N. Sarawak), and Miller (Mt. 

 1 )ulit, ;,ooo feet, N. Sarawak), in having the neck grizzled with 

 black, not clear coloured. 



(The only other known continental form of the genus 

 Tragulus (s.s.) is Tragulus versicolor of South Annam (Thomas, 

 Ann. & Mag. V, 1910, p. 5.-55). It is regarded by Lydekker as 

 a subspecies of javanicus (Cat. Ung. Brit, Mus., IV, 1915, p. 

 286) but is an animal of very distinct characters— larger than 

 kanchil, smaller than javanicus; anterior half of body fulvous, 

 posterior grey; these colours meeting abruptly behind the 

 shoulders. In the present state of our knowledge it is of very 

 isolated occurrence for no napu has yet been recorded from the 

 region between Tenasserim and Annam.
