LXXIV. — Seven new Asiatic Mammals, with JSote on the 

 " Viverra fasciata" of Gmelin. By Ernst Schwaez. 



In preparing a revision of the Indian Viverridae, I have 

 recently had occasion to examine a number of specimens ia 

 various Museums. Among them I found several new species, 

 the first of which is 



Paradoxurus celebensis, sp. n. 



A Paradoxure of the P. Javam'cus-group, most nearly 

 allied to P. javanicus, but coloured somewhat like P. setosus 

 of Ceram. 



Skull much as in P. javanicus ; rostrum shorter and 

 narrower ; intertemporal constriction shorter and less deep. 

 Brain-case very narrow, especially behind. Bullae similar to 

 those in P. javanicus, wide apart, but much smoother, much 

 smaller than in P. setosus, not inflated between carotic canal 

 and foramen lacerum posterius. Opening of posterior nares 

 long and narrow as in P. setosus. Cheek-teetli similar to 

 those of P. javanicus, somewhat smaller and less complex, 

 protocone and metacone of />* strongly developed. 



Back golden yellow, suffused with black and with three 

 very faint longitudinal black lines. Limbs black and also 

 tail except at the base and the white tip. Black face- 

 markings reaching back behind the eyes, sharply distinguished
