adult, as also stated by Anderson 1 ), then it is called Tenggiling ikan 
or fish ant-eater as having only scales. 
Marsupialia. 
Cuscus. 
Cuscus celebensis Gray. 
Celebes: Goa near Macassar; a female with her young (327, 328). 
This species was first described in an extremely unsatisfactory way 
by Grat from a young animal brought from Celebes by Mr. Wallace. 
Jentink 2 ) in his valuable monograph of the Genus Cuscus writes: „It 
is a pity that we are in dubio as to the exact locality, where Wal- 
lace gathered the specimen. It now is questionable if the species is 
restricted to Northern Celebes or is spread over the whole island”. 
All the specimens in the Leyden Museum are from North- Celebes As 
my specimen is from Goa, it is stated that its ränge of distribution 
is as far as the Southern point of Celebes. 
The fullgrown female is long: 
head and body .... 33 cm. 
tail .... 32,7 cm. 
It agrees exactly with the description given by Jentink. 
The young one is long: 
head and body .... 16,6 cm. 
tail .... 12,8 cm. 
In colour it is quite different from the mother, as its general colour 
is a chestnut, especially the uppersides are dark; there is however 
no dark backstreak.
