3. The typical skull of O. brevirostris, Owen, from Vizaga- 
patam. 
4. A stuffed specimen and its skull from Singapore; presen- 
ted to the British Museum by the Government of the Straits 
Settlements. 
5. A skull from Muara Island, Brunei River, N. Borneo; 
collected and presented by P. W. Bassett Smith, Esq. of H. M. S. 
“Rambler. ’’ These latter specimens extend the known range 
of Orcella considerably and show that is far more widely distri- 
buted than has been previously supposed. 
All the reasons assigned by D.* Anderson for the distinction 
of “0. fluminalis” from O. brevirostris appear to me to be too 
variable and of too little importance to justify their separation, 
and I suspect that had it not been for Capt. Bowers’s unfortu- 
nate mistake in saying that the Irrawaddy dolphin was a “ uni- 
form dirty white” when it really was of the same colour as 
the ordinary form (!) D. Anderson himself would not have 
separated them. In fact, so far as I can see, specimen 1 of the 
above list differs from 2, both being “0. fluminalis,’’ more 
than 2 does from 3, the actual type of O. brevirostris. 
113. Manis javanica, Desm. 
a. J. Kakhyen Hills. 9. 9. 86. 
6. 2. Dona Mts. E. of Kokareet. 15. 2. 87. 
c. juv. g. Kokareet. 2. 87. 
114. Manis aurita, Hopes. 
a. gi. Bhamò. 7. 6. 86. 
b. Bia-po 800 m. 
c. Yado 1000 m. 
Specimen a, otherwise indistinguishable from ordinary speci- 
mens of M. aurita, presents the remarkable peculiarity of not 
having the central row of scales continued quite to the end of 
the tail, but passing off at about five scales from the tip into 
the lateral paired series, exactly as in the African Pangolins,
