Martes flavigula, Blyth, J. A.S. B. xxvi. p. 316 (1858). 
The race which inhabits the Malay Peninsula has long 
been recognized as a clearly distinguishable form of the true 
M. flavigula, although it dees not appear to have been given 
a special name. 
‘he hair is short and close on all parts of the body and the 
soles of the feet are naked. ‘The face and crown of the head 
are light brown (Prout’s brown, Ridgw ), and two dark stripes, 
about 40 millim. in length and of a slightly darker shade, 
extend backward on either side of the neck, starting from 
immediately behind the ears. On the nave and across the 
shoulders the colour is of a brownish fulvous (tawny olive, 
Ridew.), gradually shading into dark brown on the hinder 
part of the body. ‘The chin is dirty white and the throat and 
fore chest golden fulvous; the remainder of the underparts 
(with the exception of a small patch on the vent) are brown, 
of a slightly lighter shade than the back. Feet and tail dark 
brown. 
The skull is only to be distinguished from that of the true 
flavigula by its slightly smaller size. 
Dimensions (of type from skin):—Head and body 475 
millim.; tail 425. 
Skull: zygomatic breadth 60; least breadth at postorbital 
constriction 23; length of palate from henselion 44; least 
palatal breadth between carnassials 15. 
Hab. Malay Peninsula and South Burma. 
Type &, B.M. 85. 8. 1. 66. Bankasun, Tenasserim. 
Collected on the 20th June, 1877, by Mr. W. Davison and 
presented by Mr. A. O. Hume. 
The short fur, naked soles, and dark underparts will 
enable this form to be easily distinguished from the typical 
AM. flavigula.
