though slightly paler and with the hairs tipped with cream buff. From the top ef 

 the nose a narrow line of cream buff running to between the eyes. 



Muzzle and round the eyes blackish brown. Tail at base similar in colour to 

 the back, but becoming blackish brown on its posterior parts. Hands and feet 

 darker and more blackish brown than the arms and legs. 



As compared with A. stigmatica this species is much lighter coloured especially 

 on the lower parts of the body. Its size is also much less, and the cream buff 

 line from the top of the nose to between the eyes may also serve to distinguish 

 this form. 



The t}'pe specimen was collected at Khumpang Bay, Southeastern Borneo, and 

 mentioned by Lyon under the name of Arctogalidia stigmatica Temm. (Proc. U. S. 

 Nat. Mus., vol. 40, 1911, p. 116).
