28 NYCTICEBUS 



This is the smaller style of Nycticebus, allied to N. coucang, 

 and whether or not they represent two distinct species cannot at the 

 present time be decided. The material available for these, as well as 

 some others of the members of this genus is not yet sufficiently ample, 

 and many additional authenticated specimens are required before the 

 status of these animals can be established. For the present therefore 

 they are permitted to remain as distinct species, although it is most 

 probable, that, in the event of their remaining apart, the N. c. cinereus 

 will only hold a subspecific rank, as a race of N. coucang, as is given 

 to it here.

JAVAN LORIS. 



Type locality. Java. Type in Paris Museum. 



Geogr. Distr. Island of Java. 



Genl. Char. About equal in size to N. malaianus but paler brown ; 

 bands on head well-defined and united to the rich brown dorsal band. 



Color. Type greatly faded, but from the remains of color it 

 exhibits and with the help of another specimen from Java, better pre- 

 served, a pretty fair idea of its original appearance can be obtained. 

 White line from forehead between eyes to nose ; sides of nose and head 

 gray slightly tinged with rufous ; line from forehead along back to 

 rump chocolate ; top of head rufous, (but now only patches of that color 

 remaining) ; sides of head behind ears and sides of neck grayish white ; 

 body and limbs white tinged with reddish ; the original color has faded 

 nearly quite away, the other Javan specimen having the body and limbs 

 of a general reddish hue. Ex type Paris Museum. 



Measurements. Total length, 16 in. ; foot 2^ in. Ex type Paris 

 Museum.
