 more robust teeth. 



PARADOXURUS HERMAPRODITUS SENEX, new subspecies 



Type. — Immature male (skin and skull), Xo. 124171, United 

 States National Museum. Collected on Domel Island, Mergui Archi- 

 pelago, January 26, 1904, by Dr. W. L. Abbott. Original No. 3074. 



Diagnosis. — Like Paradoxurus hermaphroditus ravus, but ground 

 color of upperparts and sides with less distinct trace of yellow ; 

 auditory bullae more reduced than in any other known race. 



Measurements. — Head and body, 525 mm.; tail, 465; hind foot, 

 77.4 (77.4) ; condylobasal length of skull (basal suture open, teeth 

 slightly worn), 99.0; zygomatic breadth, 58.9; breadth of braincase, 

 54.6 ; interorbital breadth, 17.2 ; breadth of rostrum over canines, 20.0 ; 

 mandible, 75.2 ; maxillary toothrow exclusive of incisors, 38.6; man- 

 dibular toothrow exclusive of incisors, 44.0. 



Specimen examined.— The type. 



Remarks. — In color the Domel Island race is probably not always 

 distinguishable from that of Trong, though the ground color in the 

 type more nearly approaches a clear grizzle of black and white. The 

 auditory bullae are slightly inflated, and only 10.5 mm. in length 

 from border of paroccipital process to front of bullae proper.
