20 GYLDENSTOLPE, ON A COLLECTIO>J OP MAMMALS MADE IN EASTERN AND CENTRAL BORNEO. 



like bistre; not so light on the lovver back as is T. discolor; maxillary toothrow less 

 than 20 mm. in length.» 



Unfortunately I have been unable to examine any specimens from northern 

 Borneo but according to the descriptions in the literature, the specimens in the 

 present collection seems to belong to T. 1. S'datana rather than to T. 1. longipes 

 which would be expected on account of the geographical position where they 

 have been collected. As to the general colouration of the upper parts of the body, 

 the present specimens are rather similar to T. glis jerrvginea Raffl. though not so 

 ferrnginous except on the head and nape which are perfectiy similar in colour to 

 the lower back in T. glis ferruginea. The general colour above is nearest »mummy 

 brown» (Ridgway pl. 15) but the whole back is finely grizzled. The individual hairs 

 are black at the base and.at the tip, but with a median band of tawny ochraceous. 

 This latter colour is more predominant on the head and along the sides of the body, 

 which thus look considerably paler than the remainder of the back. The anterior 

 parts of the lower surface are bright »xanthine orange» (Ridgway pl. 3) becoming 

 paler and more yellowish on the posterior parts. Upper surface of tail like the 

 posterior parts of the back and similarly grizzled. Under surface of tail similar but 

 the buffy colour predominating in the middle line. Feet blackish brown with a few 

 lighter specks.
