The stuffed skin was most carefully set by Mr. Davison himself, the 

 dimensions being made exactly the same as those taken on the body before 

 skinning. The present measurements are — nose to insertion of tail 19 inches, 

 tail with hair 16^ in., total 35|^, nearly the same as in the specimen in spirit. 

 It is probable that this skin also has contracted a little in drying. 



This species appears well distinguished from P. gracilis and P. par- 

 dicolor by its larger size, and by the much greater prevalence of dark colour 

 on the upper surface generally. In external characters P. maculosus is 

 nearer to the Malay species, P. gracilis j the Himalayan P. parclicolor 



* Measured from the posterior foot pad to the top of the back between the shoul- 

 ders, the leg being- straight.
