The first account of this species was given by Sir Stamford Raffles, in 
his description of a Zoological Collection made in Sumatra. The figure of M. Fred. 
Cuvier, in the above cited work, affords a good representation of this animal, from 
a drawing made on the same Island. Dr. Finlayson found it in Pulo-Fenang 
and in Malacca. It is therefore pretty generally distributed through the Indian 
Archipelago.
