Hah. An-liwei, W. China. Tvpe from Ohin-teb (Tsing-to 

 of Stieler), about 150 km. W. of Hang-chow. 



Type. OKI male. B.M. no. 2. 6. 10. 35. Collected May 

 1806, and presented by F. W. Styan, Esq. 



This animal has the characteristics of a low hot-country 

 form, as compared witii the comparatively rich-furred true 

 ohscnrus. The unusual inflation of the posterior palate is also 

 noteworthy.

These splendid specimens so confirm the characters, espe- 

 cially those of the skull, described when A. fulgens styani 

 was founded, that I should now consider the Sze-chwan and 

 Yunnan Panda as a different species from that of the 

 Himalayas. 



\.n coloration there is considerable variation between 

 different individuals, 627 having a brilliantly black-ringed 

 tail, while in 1234 the rings are no more prominent than 

 they are in average fulgeiis. Both the Yuinian specimens 

 are heavily blackened behind the shoulders and darkened 

 across the withers, but the two Sze-chwan examples differ 

 widely from each other in these respects. Tiie face-pattern 

 is also very variable.

A beautiful grey-headed species with prominent bufFy 

 patches behind the ears. 



Size about as in P. marica and other members of that 

 group of the genus, smaller than in nitida and its allies.
