““* Looark’ (Jav.). ‘ Tjareuh’ (Soend.). 
“ Very plentiful, largely frugivorous. Known in Java as the 
Coffee-Cat, on account of its habit, when in the neighbourhood of 
coftee- plantations, of feeding lar gely on the hen vias. The un- 
digested berries, which are e afterwar ds dropped, are found in heaps 
and carefully collected by the natives, and as the animals pick 
out the ripest and best fruit, Looark-coffee is considered the finest. 
‘“¢ Around houses it is often considered a useful factor in keeping 
down the enormous numbers of house-rats that overrun so many 
parts of Java; it is, however, frequently very destructive to 
poultry. Often hides by day in the roofs of houses or out- 
buildings. Although its general scent resembles that of Viverri- 
cula, its gland-pouch is more or less rudimentary and does not 
produce civet.”—G. C.8.

“¢ Adjac.’ ‘Garong’ (Soendanese). ‘ Andjing-o0tan ’ (Malay). 
‘‘ Confined to the more inaccessible and mountainous parts of 
Java. Said to be fairly numerous among the mountains of Hast 
Java. 
“| think that the native Campong-dog has most probably at 
least partly originated from this species, and that C. yavanicus 
will, like the ines of Australia, occasionally cross with domestic 
varieties.” —G. ©. 8.

1308. Near Tasikmalaja.

rivers.” —G. C.S8.

it frequents mountainous localities.”— G.C.S.
