PTEROMYS GENTBARBIS. 



the Pteromys genibarbis. It is equally different from another Javanese species of 

 this genus, the description of which wiU be given in one of the future Numbers of 

 these Researches. 



The Pteromys genibarbis inhabits the forests of Pugar, one of the most 

 sequestered districts of the Eastern portion of Java. Like other species of this 

 genus, it lives on fruits : it was caught by the natives, who had been employed in 

 the pursuit of the Pteromys Petaurista, to the retreats of which they are directed 

 by a shrill sound, which it emits in the night. Our animal appears to agree with this 

 species in its nocturnal habits, as well as in its mode of life and manners.
