lutes, extends from a point between the shoulders to the tail ; be- 

 neath, dull yellowish buff throughout. 



Upper canine on each side with a prominent external cusp ; last 

 lower molar with a circular crown. In H. cephalotes the upper 

 canine has a blunt, ill-defined external projection, and the crown of 

 the last lower molar is oval or quadrilateral. 



The skull in this species is also very much larger and differently 

 shaped. The frontal bone is deejjly grooved between the postorbital 

 processes, and the nasal bones terminate at such a height above the 

 premaxiUa as to be on the same level with the floor of the groove 

 behind them. The zygomatic arch is more than twice as thick as 

 in H. cephalates, and the postorbital processes of the frontal are 

 longer.

The following Table exhibits the measurements of the type of this 

 species, of another immature specimen with the epiphyses of the 

 finger-bones unconsolidated, and of a perfectly adult specimen of H. 

 cephalotes from Timor : —

 rpeciraens of H. cephalotes from the Malay Archipelago.
