Colour of iris clove-brown (IF. G. D.). 



Allied to the southei-n form, F. albinncka, but considerably 

 larger. 



General colour and arrangement of stripes as in the type 

 species described by Gray *, but the lateral stripes are longei- in 

 proportion to the median one, being fully two-thirds of its length. 



Head, neck, and upper half of eai's w^hite, passing into "buff- 

 yellow" at the commencement of the median line. Black stripes 

 sharply defined, about 10 mm. broad in the centre of back, 

 tapering off gradually at either extremity. Chin and a patch on 

 the throat dirty white. 



Undei- surface, sides of head, flanks, shoulders, and limbs 

 black. Tail white, the long haii-s white to their bases, but close 

 to the skin there is a fine black down which gives the appearance 

 of an indistinct black line down the tail. 



Skull conspicuously larger and more strongly built than in 

 P. albinucha, but apparently similar in form. The male skull 

 much larger than the female.
