PTEROMYS GENIBARBIS. 
the Pteromys genibarbis. It is equally different from another Javanese species of 
this gen lis, the description of which will be given in one of the future Numbers of 
these Researches. 
The Pteromys genibarbis inhabits the forests of Pugar, one of the most 
sequestered districts of the Eastern portion of Java. Like other species of this 
genus, it lives on fruits : it was caught by the natives, who had been employed in 
the pursuit of the Pteromys Petaurista, to the retreats of which they are directed 
by a shrill sound, which it emits in the night. Our animal appears to agree with this 
species in its nocturnal habits, as well as in its mode of life and manners.
