CYOX JAVANICUS. 183 



Cashmere are paler, aiid one we have examined from Nepal was quite 

 light-coloured and covered with long woolly fur. 



Habitat. South-eastern Asia, from the Himalaya to Borneo, but 

 apparently not in Ceylon. 



The dark short-haired variety, called rutilans, is found in the 

 Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and probably in Borneo ; it also 

 inhabits Moulmein and possibly Northern Burmah. 



The variety distinguished as dukhunensis is stated byBlanford* to be 

 found in Gilgit, Ladak, and other parts of the upper valley of the 

 Indus, as well as in the Himalayan forests, from Cashmere to Assam. 

 Hodgson obtained it from Eastern Thibet, and it is undoubtedly 

 present in all the larger forests of Hindostan.

Skeletal and Dental Characters. 



The main cranial and dental characters have been already noted in 

 describing those common to the genus. 



The second upper molar is always small, but we have found a con- 

 siderable difference as regards its relative size in two skulls extracted 

 from skins which closely resemble each other.
