* Desid. Mydaus meliceps, F. Cuv. Malayan peninsula ; J ava. 
t The species of this genus are most difficiilt of determination, and require 
to be further studied and more elaborately described, with reference to their 
distinctions one from another. Dr. Cantor recognises three in the Malayan 
peninsula, viz. L. nair (sen indica^ G-ray), L. baranq (or shming of Raffles), 
and L. (Aonyx) leptonyx. Mr. Walter Elliot and others one only in the 
peninsula of India, L. nair : and Mr. Hodgson describes four from jSTipal by 
the names L. monticola, L. tarayensis, L. auriventer, and L. (Aonyx) 
iNDiGiTATA ; and even suspects (or did suspect) the existence of three others ! 
The Indian specimens in the Societ5^'s collection have, all of them, a conspicu- 
ously white throat, abruptly demarcated on a line even with the lower part of 
the ears : therefore, L. barang is not among them ; to judge from Marsden's 
figure of it, in which this white is shown to be ill defined, as in the European 
L. VULGARIS, and in contrast with his figure of the Aonyx. My present 
impression of their correct synonymy, after much consideration, is given above.
