This species is readily distinguisliable from L. pedunculatus 

 by its larger size, shorter tail, and greyer colour.

Hitherto the Palm-Civets of the Philippines, North and 

 South, and of Borneo, have been considered as all belonging 

 to one species, for which the name P. i^hi'ippinensis^ Jourd. 

 (first locality mentioned, Luzon), has been used. 



But a comparison of the material in the British Museum 

 shows that the Mindanao animal is materially larger than 

 that from Luzon, that the Borneau one is quite peculiar in 

 colour, and that an additional form of the group occurs in the 

 Tawi-Tawi Islands, between N. Borneo and Mmdanao. 



I also take this opportunity to describe the Hainan repre- 

 sentative of Paguma larvata.
