'/'iffH-. — Adult male (skin and skull) collected at Da1)aii, 

 Sonth Aunam. ()")() It., on 1 Ith March, 1918, by C. Bodeu 

 Kloss. No. 3201/0 l^K. 



Specimens examined. — Four from the type-locality com- 

 pared with twenty from Pulo Condore. 



Remarks. — The' diflereucc between this and the typical race 

 is very sliujht; l)ut taken as a series the twenty island- 

 iinimals are much more ferruginous. 



It appears necessary to regard T. dissimilis as a distinct 

 species, since its rei)resentative in Aiinam occurs side by 

 side with concolor, which is uudoubtedly only a race of 

 T. (/lift.
