to the tip of the nose, it measures seven inches and a half, and the tail is as long as 
the body and neck together. 
The Bokkol is a rare animal in Java. I met with it once only in the forests of 
Blambangan, in the year 1806, and a drawing of it was then prepared. The 
specimen, which was collected at the same period, has been deposited in the Museum 
of the Honourable East India Company, and has been before me in arranging the 
preceding description. The Drawing of the figure which illustrates this article, 
was already in the hands of the engraver when the 34th Number of M. Fre'd Cuvier's 
Mammiferes Lithographisees readied this country. He has given the name used by 
the natives of Sumatra ; and his specific name, by which it will be introduced into 
the systems, is placed at the head of this article. It may be presumed to be a 
rare animal in Sumatra as well as in Java, as it is not con tamed in the Catalogue 
of a Zoological Collection of Sir Stamford Raffles, printed in the Thirteenth Volume 
of the Transactions of the Linnean Society.
