West Java : — 



At Tjibodas, 4,000 ft., and Kandang Badak, 8,000 ft., 

 Mt. Gedeh, only nigrovittatiis was obtained. 



At Wynkoops Baai were collected both nofatiis (one 

 example) and nigrovittatiis (many specimens) . 



In the district of Pandeglang, Bantam, both species were 

 equally common. 



6. Lariscus niobe vulcanus subsp. nov. 



Differs from L. n. javamis^ in having the hairs of the 

 tail tipped with buff or tawny instead of white. 



Type. Adult male (skin and skull) from Ongop 

 Ongop, Idjen Massif, 5,700 ft., Besoeki, East Java. Obtained 

 on 9 April 1916 by F.M.S. Museum collector. No. F.M.S. 

 356/16. 



External measurements taken in the flesh : head and 

 body, 185 ; tail, 115 ; hind foot, 46 mm. 



Skull measurements : greatest length, 48-5 condylo- 

 basilar length, 40 ; palatilar length, 20-0 ; diastema, 12-0 ; 

 upper molar row (alveoli) 9-0 ; median nasal length, 14-5 ; 

 interorbilal breadth, 12-0 ; zygomatic breadth, 27-0 mm. 



Specimens examined. Twelve from the Idjen Massif 

 between 4-6,(K)0 ft., compared with eight exami)les of L. j. 

 javanus. 



Seven of the latter come from West Java (Wynkoops 

 Baai and Pandeglang) ; but one is from Tamansari, Idjen 

 Massif, 1,600 ft. : it is therefore probable that L. j. javanus 

 is the lowland and sub-montane form throughout the whole 

 of Java. 



7. Rattus bukit temmincki subsp. nov. 



A very dark form of Rattus bukit (Bonh.). 

 Considerably duller than R. b. bukit of the Malay Peninsula: 

 much duller and darker than R. b. treiibi^ of the mountains 

 of Java. 



Above mingled mummy-brown and ochraceous-tawny 

 the latter strongest on the sides of the head and neck and 

 flanks : limbs greyer : fore and hind feet white with dark 

 mesial stripes. Dorsal spines greenish grey basally. 

 Below creamy sharply margined and extending to the fore 

 feet, but not to the ankles. Tail bicoloured with a white 

 tip. 



Type. Adult female (skin and skull) from Badjoel- 

 mati, north of Banjoewangi, Besoeki, East Java, Collected 

 on 29 January 1920 by C. Boden Kloss. Original No. 8,676,
