296 On Three new Races of Tragulus kanchil. 



Externally the bright colour of this race is sufficient to 

 distinguish it at a glance. As regards cranial characters, the 

 large teeth and small bullae are such conspicuous and readily 

 seen features as to enable it to be very easily identified, while 

 at the same time forming characters which leave no doubt in 

 my mind that the island race is a good and well-marked form. 



I append a list of the hitherto described species, with 

 references to the original descriptions and the localities in 

 which they were obtained: —
