MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 117 



On p. 36 I referred to another species as occurring North of 

 Lat. 13° 20', which was grizzled black in colour, with long silvery grey 

 ■whiskers. This has been identified as P. germaini. This species was 

 first described from Cochin China, though Flower in 1900 recorded it 

 from Siam, 



Of this species two adults measured : —

19.5in. 30.5 in. 13.5 in. Gin. 11 in. 4.5 in. 



In both sexes the bare skin of face, hands and feet is black ; 

 the inguinal region, in tke male, is dark brown. Two females had 

 a conspicuous white streak running from the anus down the inside 

 of either thigh for 2 in., this mark being wanting in all males examin- 

 ed. Callosities, dirty yellow. Body skin, dirty light ash. Colour 

 of the bod}'' hair, dark grizzled grey running to black on uppers of 

 hands and feet and ex'i rem) t}^ of tail. Whiskers, silvery grey up to 

 2i in. long and almost concealing the ears. Specimens obtained 

 during January and Februaiy had the tail hair short and brisfly, 

 while specimens obtained iu July, had the tail much more thickly 

 haired. Two males obtained iu July weighed each 19 lbs. and the 

 •chest circumference was 19.5 in. The mating season is, I believe, 

 July or August. 



It appears to be only locally distributed in Ratburi and only 



in the low country ; but will probably be found common in Eastern 



Siam.

No. VI.~LARGE HORNS OF MAL^Y SAMBAR (CEBVUS 

 UNICOLOR EQUINUS). 



The accompanying illustration shows the head of a Sambar in 

 the possession of Mr. R. Adry Moore. 



The horns are probabl}'^ a record for Siam, rxnd are longer than 

 any recorded bj^ Rowland Ward for t!ie species, though a s})ecimen 

 is now recorded from Burma (vide Bomlxiy Nat. Hist. Soc. Journal, 

 Vol. XXI p. 248,) with a length of 38 in and girth of 10 in.
