MAMMALIA. 
Ord, CARNASSIERS. 
Fam. Cheiroptera. Gen. Galeopithecus. 
Galeopithecus vulgaris. The Colugo. 
Fam. Insectivora. Gen. Sorex. 
Sorex giganteus, Geoff. Indian Shrew. 
Fam. Carnivora. Tribe Plantigrada. Gen. Ictides. 
Ictides ater. This specimen was presented to the Society by Col. Farquhar under 
the title of long-tailed Bear of Malacca, and has been described by Sir S. Rafiles 
as the “‘ Benturong”’ in the 13th vol. of the Transactions of the Linnean Society. 
Sir Stamford is incorrect in his enumeration of the molar teeth, which are not 
six on each side in both jaws ; there being six in the upper and only five in the 
lower. In every other particular his description corresponds. The exact num- 
ber of teeth in Ictides [am unacquainted with. Baron Cuvier’s account would 
lead me to the supposition that there are six in each jaw, as in Procyon, whilst 
I find in the Bulletin Universel, that the teeth are 18 in number in each jaw, 
namely six incisors, two canines, and 10 molars. There can be no doubt of the 
identity of the specimen with the Ictides ater of Frederick Cuvier, though it 
may be necessary to separate the latter from the species with which it has been 
generically connected. 
Tribe Digitigrada. Gen, Lutra. 
Lutra nair, F. Cuvier, Indian Otter.

Viverra Bengalensis, Hardw.

Fam. Dasyuride. Gen. Thylacinus. 
Thylacinus striatus. Zebra Thylacine. Didelphis cynocephalus, Harris. 
Ord. RovENTIA. 
Gen. Rhizomys, Gray. 
Rhizomys Sumatrensis. Bambu Rat, Rafiles. This specimen has also been described 
by Sir S. Raffles, and from his description, Mr. Gray has referred it to his new 
genus Khizomys, adding however a note of interrogation as to the correctness of 
the location. It certainly does belong to the genus, but it would be very desir- 
able that a specimen should be sent to Mr. Gray, especially as it is by no means 
clear that it may not be identical with his R. Chinensis. 
Gen, Hystrix, Subg. Atherina. 
Atherina fasciculata. Brush-tailed Porcupine. 
Ord, EDENTATA. 
Gen. Manis.
