cillata, and a large species of Lagorchestes, which cannot be identified 

 with any one of the four described by Mr. Waterhouse. 



L. gymnotis, nobis, n. s. Most nearly akin to L. conspicillatus, 

 Gould ; but much larger, a stuffed female measuring about 2| ft. from 

 nose to base of tail, and the tail 16 in. : the skin may be distended ; but 

 the following admeasurements can be better depended on : ears externally 

 If in. (more when fresh) ; palm to tip of middle claw If in., the claw 

 £ in. ; tarse to tip of longest claw 5f in., the claw 1 in. ; from muzzle 

 to base of ear Ah, in. Muzzle as in L. conspicillatus : ears naked within. 

 Prevailing hue rufous-brown, grizzled with dull white ; each hair white 

 towards the end, with a black tip : limbs more rufescent : under-parts 

 dull rufescent-white throughout : from the mouth proceeds a dark choco- 

 late-brown line or ill-defined band, contrasting with the white of the 

 throat ; and a similar vague band passes from the nostril to the eye, 

 which latter is surrounded with dark hairs : chin also dark : the hairs of 

 the tail are excessively abraded in the specimen, save chiefly a median 

 line underneath ; and they seem naturally to be very short, and scanty 

 above and laterally : there is an exceedingly slight indication upon the 

 haunches of the pale band of L. conspicillatus. Hab. ?* 



Of the specimens of Tragulus (or * Mouse Deer') under examination, 

 four (if not five) species are distinguishable, — in addition to the Meminna 



INDICA. 



1. Tragulus kanchil, (Raffles) ; of which Moschus fuhiventer, Gray, 

 is a common variety. This is by far the most abundant species, and its 

 range of distribution extends northward into the Tenasserim provinces. 

 Fourteen specimens are before me, besides an albino. It is constantly dis-

 of latter, and skull of a younger specimen. 



4. H. Bennettii, Waterhouse. Adult male and female, with skeletons, and 

 skull of a younger individual. 



5. H. ualabatus, (Lesson and Garnot). Stuffed male, and skull.
