Type locality. Unknown. Type in Paris Museum. Geogr. bistr. Island of Sumatra. Color. The type of H. Ag1l1s F.

The specimen is doubtless faded and is much soiled with the dust of nearly a century. Measurements. Skull: occipito-nasal length, 89; Hensel, 80; zygomatic width, 65; intertemporal width, 48; median length of nasals, 10; length of upper molar series, 25; length of mandible, 70; length of lower molar series, 28.
