the base and black at the tip. The fur is soft, lengthened, and 
straggling. 
The entire length of this species is 50 inches, 26 of which are oc- 
cupied by the head and body, and 24 by the tail. 
I could not discover any external differences between the speci- 
mens which Mr. Hodgson sent, under the name of P. quadriscriptus, 
from Nepal, and P. musanga (see Proc. Zool. Soc. 1853, p. 191). 
The skull has not been compared.

The species, which has only been described from Dr. Buchanan 
Hamilton’s drawing, copied in my ‘Indian Zoology,’ has not yet 
occurred to me. M. Temminck, who never could have seen it, 
states it to be “a constant variety’ of Paradoxurus musanga (Esq. 
Zool. 120); but, as far as I know, P. musanga is confined to the 
Malay Islands.

Probably the same as P. musanga.
