Paradoxurus musschenbroekii Schlegel. 



When travelling in the south part of Celebes and afterwards in 

 Luwu, in the central part, all ray inquiries about this interesting 

 Paradoxurus were without result. No onehad ever heard of this animal. 

 This was also the experience of Prof. Wichmann of Utrecht , who was 

 kind enough , to inquire about this animal when crossing Celebes from 

 Palos-bay to Parigi on the gulf of Toraini (cf. map III). 



This animal seems therefore to be restricted to North Celebes.

 on the face of a reddish hue. Single hairs above the eyes
