FASCICULI MALATENSES 
The skull, which, except for its size is that of a typical paradoxure, most 
nearly resembles one marked P. typus in the National Collection. The edge 
of the bony palate is hardly posterior to the posterior angle of the last molar. 
The audital bullae are placed wide apart and are more rounded on the inferior 
surface. In other respects, howcver } the skull hardly differs from that of most 
species of the genus. 
Dimensions (measured in the flesh). Head and body, 450 mm. ; Tail, 
460 mm. ; Hind foot, 64 mm.; Ear, 39 mm. 
Skull. Greatest length, 96 mm. ; Length of palate, from 43 mm, ; 
Zygomatic breadth, 53 mm. ; Breadth of palate, between canines, 10 mm. ; , 
Between inner roots of carnassials, 14 mm. ; Greatest width of brain-case, 
32 mm. 
Habitat . State of Jalor (Kampong Jalor), Malay Peninsula. 
Type. 9 adult, collected on the 3rd November, 1901, by Messrs. 
H. C. Robinson and N. Annan dale. 
The small size of this paradoxure will be quite sufficient to enable it to 
be at once distinguished from any of the other species known to inhabit the 
Peninsula. There is a second skull that agrees with that of the type in all 
respects.

In both of these examples the ground colour is very light, and the three 
dark dorsal stripes clearly cut and well marked.

The above specimen, which is very young, is uniform brownish-grey 
throughout, except for the head and face which are whitish, especially that 
portion immediately anterior to the ears. The two fore feet and tail are also 
white ; the ears and a small patch over the anterior half of the eye, dark 
brown. I am not able, from the material available, to make out its specific 
identity.
