a. (S . One specimen, 10th Nov., 1905. 



A single example of this Chinese race has been bi-ought back ; 

 it resembles the type closely and in all respects. The occnrrence 

 of this form in Annam is certainly surprising ; it may, however, 

 prove to range along the whole S. Chinese coast, while S. rodol'phi 

 inhabits the higher gi-ound ; on the other hand it might have been 

 brought over on a ship and escaped.

a-c. Three specimens. 



These are veiy typical specimens. The light stiipes are of the 

 same width throughout, and have a, tendency to a, deepei- and more 

 rufous tinge on their anterior portion. The median dark sti'ipe 

 tends to become divided down the centre by a browmish grizzled 

 stripe ; the length and extent of this latter stripe seem to be very 

 variable.

aS'. mouhoti Gray was mei-ely described on a seasonal foi-m of 

 this species, as I have already pointed out. 



FUNAMBULUS RUFIGENIS FUSCUS Boilh. 



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



Similar to F. rufigenis typictijS, but the general tone of colour 

 very much deeper. Colour above very dark brown, finely grizzled 

 with buff. The whole of the thighs suffused with deep chestnut, 

 which is not the case in the typical form. Sides of face chestnut, 

 rather deeper in tint than in the typical form, and the same may 

 be said of the chestnut on the under side of the tail. Remainder 

 of under parts creamy white. 



The skull appeal's to be of a rather stouter build, but without a 

 good series it would be unwise to lay stress on this fact. 



Dimensions of type (from skin). Head and body 190 mm.; 

 tail (broken) 150 ; ear 12*5 ; hind foot 43.

 Nov., 1905. 



The much darker geneiul colour and the rufous tinge on the 

 outer sides of the thighs form good distinctive characters by which 

 this species may be easily distinguished from the typical race.
