tinguished from all the rest by the median dark line between the fore-legs : 

 neck rufous, with a median dark nape-band strongly defined. A rufous 

 hue commonly pervades the entire lower-parts, with the exception of the 

 white on either side of the pectoral line ; and this white with its medial 

 dark streak extends more or less backward, in proportion as another 

 wmite streak is continued forward on each side of the belly from behind. 



2. Tr. pelandoc (?) ; MoscJms pelandoc (?), Ham. Smith : Tr. affi- 

 nis (?), Gray. This species accords better than any other with Buffon's 

 figure of le Chevrotain de Java. It is smaller than the Kanchil, with a 

 conspicuously shorter head and larger eye : also smaller accessory or 

 succentorial hoofs. The head and neck are very differently coloured ; and 

 the hue of the body is more uniformly rufous and much less nigrescent 

 than in the Kanchil, each hair, however, being black-tipped. Head of 

 adult male from base of ear to muzzle 3| in. ; from eve to muzzle 

 If in. : the corresponding dimensions in an adult male Kanchil being 

 3f in. and 2\. in. : from hock to point of succentorial hoof 3| in. 

 in the present species, 3| in. in the Kanchil. Head rufous, with 

 a strongly marked dark patch on centre of forehead, contrasting much 

 with the broad rufous superciliary mark ; but the black of the forehead 

 faintly continued as a nape-streak, whereas in the Kanchil the contrast of 

 the same colours is transferred to the nape. In our present species, the 

 throat is white, continued into three stripes down the front of the neck, 

 which alike terminate in a pale fulvescent cross-band : the rest of the 

 under-parts white, with merely a fulvous tinge on centre of belly : back 

 and sides of the neck, with the two dark bands in front which alternate 

 with the three white ones, of a peculiar and similar grizzled colouring, 

 contrasting much with the rufous of the body ; the former being con- 

 stantly rufous, and the latter more or less nigrescent, in the Kanchil : 

 tail bright rufous above, white below and at the tip : limbs also bright 

 rufous. Tusk protruding about fo in. in the specimen described. 



3. Tr. javanicus, (Pallas). An adult male and female which I refer 

 to this species, as described by Dr. J. E. Gray in the Proc. Zool. Soc. for 

 1836, p. 64, are remarkable (more especially the female) for the blackish 

 hue of the whole neck, and of the two dark streaks alternating with the 

 three white ones in front of it. General colour rufous, the black tips to 

 the hairs shewing much ; the breast, and towards the hind-legs, white, 

 separated by fulvous which occupies the medial region of the belly, ex- 

 tending quite across it. From hock to point of succentorial hoof 4 in. 



4. Tr. javanicus, var. Stanleyanus; Moschus Stanley anus, Gray, 

 P. Z. S. 1836, p. 65. I take this to be merely a variety of the last, having
