Paradoxurus musschendroekii Schlegel. 
When travelling in the south part of Celebes and afterwards in 
Luwu, in the central part, all my inquiries about this interesting 
Paradoxurus were without result. No one had ever heard of this animal. 
This was also the experience of Prof. Wichmann of Utrecht , who was 
kind enough , to inquire about this animal when crossing Celebes from 
Palos-bay to Parigi on the gulf of Tomini (cf. map III). 
This animal seems therefore to be restricted to North Celebes.

Mydaus. 
Mydaus meliceps Cuvier. 
Java: Sinagar near Buitenzorg. A young female presented to me 
by Mr. Kerkhoven. The specimen is long: head and body 
26,5, tail 3,3 cm. Fur on back splendid white , underneath and 
on the face of a reddish hue. Single hairs above the eyes 
black. The animal is therefore no albino; against this plead 
also the brown eyes and the black soles of the feet. Top of 
snout red. 
Lutra. 
Lutra leptonyx Horsfleld. 
Java: Buitenzorg; one very young (226) and two halfgrown speci- 
mens (259, 260). Two skeletons (258, 268). 
In one specimen , — head and body 51 cm., tail 30 cm. long — 
I measured the intestine. It was 1 met. 96 cm. long, there 
was exteriorly no difference visible between the small and 
the large intestine.
