not with T.ferruginea. On the othei- hand, the Paradoxurtis is 

 appai-ently identical with a form desciibed by me from the 

 Peninsnla. Another point of interest as showing a probable 

 double origin for this fauna, is in the occui-rence at the same place 

 of two subspecies of Scmrus maccleUandi — one, S. m. rodolphi 

 A. M.-E., showing very obvious affinities with >S'. "an. harhei of 

 the Peninsula ; the other, S. in. maritimus mihi, which is in- 

 distinguishable from the type, which came from China. It must, 

 however, be remembered that this last is only represented by a 

 single skin, and it might possibly have been brought down on a 

 ship and escaped. 



Lastly, attention may be called to a new species of Nycticehus, 

 which is in many respects intermediate in its characters between 

 Nycticebiis and Loris. 



As regards synonymy, I have followed my usual custom, 

 namely, to give the original reference and a few of the other more 

 important ones, which, if referred to, will be found to contain a 

 practically full synonymy.

This is an extremely fine example of this scarce species, 

 agreeing very well with the published descriptions. 



Presbytes sp. ? 



a, h. $ . Nha-trang, 30th Oct., 1905. 



Two very young specimens of a species of Presbytes, unfor- 

 tunately too young for identification, 



Nycticebus pygm^us Bonh. (Plate II.) 



Abstr. P.Z.S. 1907, p. 2 (Jan. 22, 1907). 



Very small, about half the size of X. coitcang* Bodd. The 

 hair is wavy on the body and of a very fine silky texture. 

 General colour of a uniform orange-rufous, showing no sign of 

 any dark line down the back or on the head. The under parts, 

 hands, and feet are lighter in colour and have a silvery-grey 

 appearance. There is a bare space round the eyes, the muzzle 

 and lips are white, and a white stripe runs up from the nose 

 between the eyes to end abruptly on the forehead. The ears are 

 of moderate size, uniformly rounded, and very sparsely covered 

 with hairs. The tail is a mere stump. 



The skull in its general outline agrees fairly well with that of 

 N. c. cinereus from Cochin China, although it is, of course, very 

 much smaller. In its main characters also it shows no very 



* Messrs. Stone and Rehn have pointed out (Proe. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1902, 

 p, 138) that the name fardiffradus belongs to the Slender Loris '■^ L. gracilis," and 

 that therefore Boddaert's name must stand for the Slow Loris usually known as 

 N. tardigradus. .
