a. Plateau of the Lung Brau, 1300 ni., 30tli Oct., 1905. 



This specimen is only a flat skin without a skull ; Dr. Vassal 

 notes that it is " not rare '" in Annam.

This is a very young specimen, but has a well-developed nuclial 

 crest. The skull in its general proportions agi-ees with Dr. 

 Anderson's description. The external chai-actei-s, howevei-, agi-ee 

 well with Swinhoe's //. snhcristata, and, in fact, the only difference 

 between these two species is to be found in the skulls. In his 

 original description Swinhoe states that the skull of H. subcristata 

 is indistinguishable from that of //. hodgsoni Gray, which, of 

 coui'se, is quite distinct fi'oni Anderson's species. Unfortunately 

 there are no specimens fi'om China in the Biitish Museum which 

 would enable us to determine definitely whether there be two 

 Crested Porcupines in China, or whethei- Anderson's and )Swinhoe's 

 species ai'e in i-eaJity one and the same.

Mr, Thomas having recently described this specimen, I need 

 only refer those interested to the paper quoted above.

These specimens agree in all respects with my description of 

 T. k. 2^'i&'>"'>"e'i quoted above. I have used Gi'ay's name for this 

 species in preference to my own, as Mr. Miller has pointed out to 

 me that Gray's T. afflnis was chiefl.y based on s^Decimens fi'om 

 Cochin China ; and Mr. Miller having, previously to my paper, 

 described the Peninsula form vuider the name T. ravus, Gray's 

 T. affinis became ■i/:).s'o facto resti-icted to the race from Cochin 

 China : with this finding I quite agree.
