1895. Manis javanica Thomas and Hartert, Novitates Zoologicæ, II, p. 492. December, 1895 (Bunguran).
An adult male was taken on Bunguran, June 24, 1900. Total length 914; head and body 508; tail 406.
Type. —Adult male (skin and skull) No. 104604 U. S. National Museum. Collected on Bunguran Island, North Natunas, July 9, 1900. Original number, 547.
Characters. —Color pattern essentially as in Tragulus nigricans Thomas, from Balabac. Size equal to that of T. canescens from the Malay Peninsula, therefore much greater than in the Balabac animal.
Teeth. —The teeth are uniformly larger than those of Tragulus nigricans , but in form they present no characters of importance. As compared with T. canescens the premolars both above and below are conspicuously more robust, a character in which the Bunguran animal agrees with the Bornean form of Tragulus napu .
Measurements. —External measurements of type: total length 647; head and body 571; tail vertebræ 76; hind foot 146; hind foot without hoofs 128. Average and extremes of five adults from the type locality: total length 643 (628-673); head and body 566 (558-584); tail vertebræ 77 (70-89); hind foot 142 (140-146); hind foot without hoofs 126 (124-128).
Weight. —Weight of type 3.8 kg.; of two other males 3.6 kg. each. Two adult females weigh respectively 3.6 kg. and 4.2 kg.
Specimens examined. —Six, all from the type locality.
