Hah. Batchian Island. 



Pt. caniceps, described by Dr. Gray from a single specimen, is 

 probably a hybrid between Pt. hypomelanus and Pt. maeldotii. It 

 resembles the former in the general colour of the fur, but differs 

 from it in the longer ears, very difi'erently coloured fur of the back 

 and of the sides of the breast and abdomen, and in the teeth ; while 

 it agrees with the latter species iji the form of the ears and in the 

 presence of a smsill antero-internal cusp in the third upper premolar.
