Hab. Tavoy Island, Mergui Archipelago, 
Type. Adult female. B. M. No. 22-8-21-2. Original number 118. Collected 
21 October 1921 by C. Primrose. Presented by the Bombay Natural 
History Society. Five specimens. 
In this island subspecies the general colour is darker than in its allies, 
and the suffusion of the fore-back is both more uniform, and more tending 
to cinnamon, that of davisoni being more yellowish. 
Whether it occurs in other islands than Tavoy we do not yet know, but 
Mr. Primrose did not find it in Ross Island.
