366 DR. J. E. GRAY ON THE GENERA AND Species [Apr. 11, 
1. PHOLIDOTUS JAVANUS. B.M. 
Dark brown; tail as long as body and head; scales of the sides 
and of the hind feet acutely keeled, the front and hinder claws 
nearly equal-sized. Head and body 15, tail 15 inches. 
Manis pentadactyla, Raffles, Linn. Trans. xii. 249. 
M. javanica (partly), Fischer, Syn. 400 (not of Sundevall). 
M. aspera, Sundevall, 1. c. 253; Rapp, Edent. t. 2a (good), t. 6. 
f. 1,2 (skull) ; Desm. Mamm. 377; Gerrard, Cat. Bones B, M. 285. 
Hab, Sumatra (Rafies). Male and female (B. M.). 
Teats two, pectoral; penis pendant. ~ 
Manis aspera is described from a single specimen in the Paris 
Museum, sent from Sumatra. It is evidently the same as that which 
Raffles described and figured under the name M. javanica, and which 
has been so named in the English Museums. 
The M. javanica of Dr. Sundevall, which he described as having 
fulvescent scales, is the same as his M. dalmanni and the M. aurita 
of Hodgson, which is common in India, and has been generally 
confounded with the larger-scaled M. pentadactyla or M. laticauda. 
Desmarest describes, under the name of M. javanica, the Java ani- 
mal with keeled scales on the legs, and refers to Raffles. 
Manis guy, Focillon, Rev. Zool. 1850, t. 10; Rapp. Edent. 17. 
“Tail shorter than the body and head; twenty-one longitudinal 
rows of scales; end of the tail naked on its lower surface; scales 
broad, ending in an obtuse point, striated to the tip; with bristles 
between the scales.” 
Described and figured from a young specimen preserved in spirit, 
said to have been received from Africa. Appears to me to be only 
a young specimen of Pholidotus javanicus. 
The front feet are covered with scales to the claws, and it has the 
conch of ear moderately developed, not so much so as in P. dalmanni. 
What is Manis leucura, Blyth, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Beng. xxx. 
91; Rapp, Edent. 18, thus described, ‘‘ Tail as long as the body 
and head; scales of the tail adpressed, so that the margin is entire, 
not dentated.’?? The habitat is unknown. 
** Scales horn-coloured; of the back, in seventeen longitudinal series. 
Tail as long as the body. Conch of ear produced. 
2. PHOLIDOTUS DALMANNII. 
Pale brown; tail short, as long as the body without the head; 
scales of the young striated, of the middle of back truncated, of the 
sides of hind feet keeled; of the older specimen worn smooth; ears 
large ; hair of head and underside of body short, grey. Body and 
head 22, tail 15 inches.
