1864.] DR. J. E. GRAY ON THE VIVERRIDE. 937 
The skull is like that of P. nigrifrons; the teeth are much more 
thick and massive; the flesh-tooth broader, and with a much 
larger internal lobe; the first tubercular is more square, nearly as 
wide on the inner as on the outer side ; the hinder tubercular is small, 
subcireular ; the palate has an angular notch behind; the zygo- 
matic arch is also a little wider.

Paradoxurus quinquelineatus and Paradoxurus musangoides, Gray, 
Loudon’s Mag. N. H. i. 579, 1837, are perhaps only varieties of the 
young animal of this species. 
Viverra fasciata, Desm. Mamm. 209 (not of Gmelin), described as 
pale yellow, with longitudinal series of brown spots, end of the nose 
and frontal cross band white, is also probably the same. It cannot 
be Viverricula madagascariensis, as the forehead is not particularly 
aie This is perhaps the Platyschista ? which Otto notices 
in ‘Nova Acta Acad. Leop. Carol.’ xvii. 1102.

7. PARADOXURUS DUBIUS. B. M., type. 
Pale yellowish ashy brown, with three indistinct, rather inter- 
rupted, darker bands and some indistinct darker spots on the sides ; 
head, ears, and feet chestnut ; forehead with an indistinct whitish 
band; spot on side of nose and under eyes white.

The skull is in the skin; so I have not been able to examine it. 
This species may be only a very pale variety of P. fasciatus. 
8. PaRADOXURUS PHILIPPENSIS. B.M., type. 
Fur blackish, with a silvery gloss ; spot under eyes distinct ; cheeks 
dark brown; head, feet, and the greater part of the tail blacker ; 
the back mith three ekeenet narrow black streaks, which converge 
near the rump, and with a series of very indistinct small ones on 
the upper part of the sides; sides of forehead, chest, and beneath 
whiter; whiskers white and black ; ears hairy. 
Var. Dorsal stripes none. B.M.

The colours vary much in intensity, and in the lighter and darker 
specimens the spots and streaks are scarcely visible; the white on 
the side of the forehead in front of the base of the ears also varies 
in distinctness and extent ; the spot under the eyes is generally di- 
stinct. This species is like P. nigrifrons and P, musanga in many
