NEW FEALANGEB FROM NOBTE QUEEN SLANE, —LONGMAN . 
Tail longer than those of our specimens of lemuroides, evenly clothed with fur 
like a Trichosiiriis j portion naked underneath not so long as head ; extreme tip 
naked all round. 
The skin of the male specimen is not in good condition, but no definite 
colour differences are manifested by the sexes. 
Skull and teeth closely resembling our series of P. lemuroides. Across the 
zygomatic processes the new species is relatively wider, and the nasals reach 
almost to the base of the first incisor. The naso-premaxillary suture exceeds that 
of the naso-maxillary. The lower jaw has on each side a distinct foramen in the 
masseteric fossa, a feature which, although inconstant in many of the Phalan- 
geridee, is apparently not found in P. lemuroides. Taking into consideration the 
points above noted, P. cervinus otherwise presents almost a facsimile of the skull 
and lower jaw of P. lemuroides as figured by Collett (loe. cit.). 
Shull dimensions: ( $ ) Length 55 mm. ; width 38 mm. ; max. length nasals 
16 mm., greatest breadth 8 mm., least breadth 3*3; length of anterior palatal 
vacuities (foramina incisiva) 4 mm. 
In this specimen the suture between the basi- and pre-sphenoid bones is 
obliterated by postero-lateral processes of the vomer which apparently unite 
with pterygoid extensions; it is thus impossible accurately to obtain the facial 
index.
