External measurements taken in the flesh : head and 

 body, 182 (185) > ; tail, 160 (160) ; hind foot, 41 (43) ; ear, 

 1(> (16). 



Skull measurements: greatest length, 16*3 (50) ; 

 condylo-basilar length, 39-4 (43) ; palatilai- length, 19 (21 ) ; 

 diastema, 10-5 (12*8) ; upper molar row, alveoli, 9 (9) ; 

 median nasal length, 12-4 (14-5) ; interorbital breadth, 

 17-2 (17-6) ; zygomatic breadth, 28 (29). 



Specimens examined. Twelve from the type locality 

 and twenty-two from Sodong Jerok, 4,000 ft., and Ongop 

 Ongop, 5,700 ft., Idjen Massif, East Java, compared with 

 many examples of the typical form from Mid-Java 

 (Karangbolang, East of Schildpadden Baai) and West Java 

 (Mt. Gedeh,' 4,000-8,000 ft. ; Wynkoops Baai and 

 Pandeglang). 



Remarks. Tlie West Javan form of S. notatus- bears 

 some resemblance to this race in having the ventral surface 

 largely grey, sometimes washed with bufl'y, and the colour 

 of the imderparts is therefore no distinction, broadly 

 speaking, between the two species wiiich are differentiated 

 as follows : — 



S. notatus. S. nigrovittatus. 



Pale edges to eyeliis distinct. No distinct pale edges to eyelids.

Skull narrower. Skull broader. 



The distribution of S. notatus and nigrovittatus in Java, 

 as experienced by members of the F.M.S. Museums during 

 two collecting visits, may be of interest. 



East Java : — 



At Badjoelmati, in the lowlands of Besoeki, only notatus 

 was met with. 



At Tamansari, Idjen Massif, 1,600 ft., both notatus and 

 nigrovittatus were found. 



At Sodong Jerok, 4,000 ft., and Ongop Ongop, 5,700 ft., 

 on the Idjen, only nigrovittatus was found. 



Mid Java : — 



At Karangbolong on the south coast only nigrovittatus 

 was met with.
