The Burmese Civet seems to be rather rare in Siarn at least in the parts of the 

 country visited by the Expedition. The specimen obtained was the only one met with. 



The colour of the fnr agrees well with the description given by Kloss (Journal 

 Straits Branch, Royal Asiatic Society No. 53. 1909 p. 18). 



Skull measurements: 



Greatest length = 149,2; basicranial length = 139,2; condylobasal length = 145,?; 

 zygomatic width = 72,o; greatest width of brain case = 43,7; length of nasals mesially 

 == 40,o; greatest breadth of combined nasals = 10,9; least interorbital breadth = 27,o; 

 least postorbital breadth = 30, i; palatal length = 75,4; breadth of palate between 

 carnassials = 20,2; maxillary toothrow = 62,2 mm. 



This species does not smell so strong of civet as the other species foimd in Siarn 

 viz. Viverra zibetha pruinosa Wrought. 



Paradoxurus hermaphroditus. Pall.

This Palm Civet was apparently very common in the parts of the Siamese Malaya 

 visited by the Expedition. Like the other Civets it is easily trapped.
