BRIEF EXERCISE 7-1

The correct order is:

1. Identify the problem and assign responsibility.


2. Determine and evaluate possible courses of action.
3. Make decision.
4. Review the results of the decision.

Costs 100,000 125,000 (25,000)
Net income $ 60,000 $ 55,000 ($ 5,000)

Alternative A is better than Alternative B.

BRIEF EXERCISE 7-3


Determine incremental difference between accepting and rejecting the
order:

Incremental revenue $1,440,000


(40,000 units × ($48 × 75%) per unit)
Incremental cost:
Variable cost (40,000 units × $34* per unit) $1,360,000
Selling cost (40,000 units × $3 per unit) 120,000 1,480,000
Incremental income (loss) ($40,000)
*Variable cost per unit = $15 + $10 + ($12 × 75%)

The special order should not be accepted, as it will create a $40,000


net loss for the company.

Net Income per unit

The bookcases should be processed further because the incremental


revenues exceed incremental costs by $1.00 per unit.

BRIEF EXERCISE 7-7

The allocated joint costs are irrelevant to the sell or process further
decisions. If AB1 is processed further, the company will earn
incremental revenue of $60,000 ($150,000 – $90,000) and only incur
incremental costs of $50,000. Therefore, the company should process
AB1 further. If XY1 is processed further, the company will earn
incremental revenue of $40,000 ($130,000 – $90,000) but will incur
incremental costs of $50,000. Therefore, the company should sell XY1
rather than process it further.

1. False. The first step in management’s decision-making process is
“identify the problem and assign responsibility”.
2. False. The final step in management’s decision-making process
is to review the results of the decision.
3. True.
4. False. In making business decisions, management ordinarily
considers both financial and non-financial information.
5. True.
6. True.
7. False. Costs that are the same under all alternative courses of
action do not affect the decision.
8. False. With incremental analysis, either costs or revenues or both
will change under alternative courses of action.
9. False. Sometimes variable costs will not change under alternative
courses of action, but fixed costs will.

EXERCISE 7-18

(a) Variable cost per unit = $3 ($10,000 + $30,000 + $20,000) ÷ 20,000 units
Contribution margin per unit = $1.80 ($4.80 – $3)

Incremental contribution margin (5,000 units × $1.80) $9,000


Less incremental cost:
Fixed cost 6,000
Incremental income (loss) $3,000

(b) They should accept the special order, as it will increase their net
income by $3,000.

(c) The assumptions underlying the decision is that current sales will
not be affected if Gruden accepts the offer, and they have the
capacity to produce the 5,000 additional discs.

EXERCISE 7-19

(a), Full capacity is the equivalent of 1,000,000 ($5,000,000 ÷ $5.00)


units. At the current level of 70%, an additional 200,000 units
would be within their total capacity (700,000 + 200,000 <
1,000,000).

Variable cost per unit:


Direct materials and direct labour $2.50
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.00
Variable selling expenses —
$3.50

Selling price per unit: ($3.50 + $1.00) $4.50

Incremental revenue (200,000 units × $4.50) $900,000


Incremental cost:
Variable cost (200,000 units × $3.50 per unit) 700,000
Incremental income (loss) $200,000

Hardy Fiber should accept the Canadian forces’ offer since it


would increase net income by $200,000.

Another approach to the solution: CF’s payment of $4.50 covers


the relevant variable costs and provides a margin of $1 per unit.
Therefore, incremental income from the sale would be $200,000
($1 x 200,000 units).

(b) Variable cost = $2.00 + $0.50 +$1.00 + $0.25 = $3.75

If they could sell one million units at $8.00, they should not
accept the CF’s offer, because for every unit they produce for the
Canadian Forces at $1.00 contribution margin, they would have to
give up $4.25 ($8.00 – $3.75) contribution margin on a sale on the
open market.

Net income is $5,000 ($70,000 – $65,000) higher in (d) than in (b)


because product 14 is not processed further, thereby increasing overall
profit $5,000.

Yes. Riverside Hospital should replace the old scanner because it


will result in a total savings of $20,000 over the next four years.

(c) As shown in (a) above, replacing the old scanner will result in
reporting a book loss of $40,000. Reluctance to report losses of
this nature is the usual reason for not recognizing that a poor
decision was made in the past. The remaining book value of the
old scanner ($80,000) is a sunk cost. It will be deducted in the
future if the scanner is retained, or written off now if it is replaced.
However, if it is replaced now, that cost will be partially offset by
the salvage value that Alliant is willing to pay ($40,000).

amount equals the contribution margin that would be lost through
discontinuing the division. (Note: None of the fixed costs can be
avoided, therefore the amount does not differ between alternatives,

(c) As shown in the analysis above, Clarington should not eliminate


the Mega-Power product line. Elimination of the line would cause
net income to drop from $65,000 to $35,000. The reason for this

would result in the loss of $70,000 of contribution margin while
saving only $40,000 of fixed expenses.

PROBLEM 7-34A

(a) Calculate per unit cost for the relevant costs:

Variable COGS: ($3,150,000 – $900,000) ÷ 90,000 units = $25.00


Variable S & A: ($360,000 – $162,000) ÷ 90,000 units = $2.20

Calculate the incremental income (loss) from the special order:

Incremental revenue (9,000 units × $30 per unit) $270,000


Incremental cost:
Variable COGS (9,000 × $25.00 per unit) $225,000
Variable S & A (9,000 × $2.20 per unit) 19,800
Additional S & A (9,000 × $0.50 per unit) 4,500 249,300
Incremental income (loss) $20,700

(b) Yes, the special order should be accepted because net income
will increase by $20,700.

(c) Unit selling price = $25.00 (variable manufacturing costs) + $2.70


variable selling and administrative expenses + $5.00 net income =
$32.70.

(d) Non-financial factors to be considered are: (1) possible effect on


domestic sales, (2) possible alternative uses of the unused plant
capacity, and (3) ability to meet customer’s schedule for delivery
without increasing costs.

TO: Cab Calway

FROM: Student

SUBJECT: Relevant Data for Decision to Replace Old Elevator

When deciding whether or not to replace any old equipment, the


analysis should only include cost data relevant to the replacement
decision. The $75,000 book loss on disposal that would be
experienced if we replace the old elevator with the newer model is
related to a sunk cost, namely the cost of the old elevator. Sunk costs
are irrelevant in decision making.

The loss occurs when comparing the book value of the old elevator to
the cash proceeds that would be received. The book value of $100,000
would be deducted as depreciation expense over the next five years if
the elevator were retained. If the elevator is replaced with the newer
model the book value will be expensed in the current year, less the
cash proceeds received on disposal. Therefore, in total, the $100,000
book value will be expensed under either alternative, making it
irrelevant.

PROBLEM 7-40A (Continued)

Division III should be continued because it is producing positive contribution


margin of $65,250. Savings in fixed costs are not large enough to cover this
loss in contribution margin, so Ribeiro would see a $20,125 decrease in
income if they closed Division III. However, Division IV should be eliminated
as it has a negative contribution margin of $4,000. Income from operations
would increase by $22,000 if Division IV is eliminated.

(c) First determine variable and fixed costs for Div I & Div II

Division I— Variable COGS: 70% × $300,000 = $210,000


Variable S&A: 40% × $60,000 = $24,000
Fixed COGS: 30% × $300,000 = $90,000
Fixed S&A: 60% × $60,000 = $36,000

Division II— Variable COGS: 90% × $250,000 = $225,000


Variable S&A: 50% × $80,000 = $40,000
Fixed COGS: 10% × $250,000 = $25,000
Fixed S&A: 50% × $80,000 = $40,000

Each division will have an additional fixed cost charge of $6,000 ($18,000 ÷ 3),
which is an equal share of the unavoidable fixed costs from Division IV.

Assuming fixed costs do not change, Straus Company should replace


Product B with Product C. The contribution given up by dropping
Product B is more than covered by the increased contribution margin
from Product A, and the total from Product C:
($445,500 + $750,000) – ($405,000 + $700,000) = $90,500.

Tarsius T. fusco Fisch.-Waldh. simillimus, sed cauda minus pilosa et


tarsis fere nudis.

Hab. In insulis Sangi.

Alle mir bekannten Exemplare 1 von den Sangi Inseln weichen durch
den weniger behaarten Schwanz und die wenig behaarten Tarsen
von dem gleich grossen T. fuscus ab, sie nähern sich also darin der
Philippinen-Form mit ihrem ganz spärlich und kurz behaarten (und
unbeschuppten) Schwanz und ihren so gut wie nackten Tarsen,
während fuscus gut behaarte Tarsen und einen sehr stark behaarten
Schwanz hat. Die langen und dunklen Haare des Schwanzes
reichen bei sangirensis proximal nicht so weit und die Haare sind
kürzer. Die Beschuppung ist dieselbe wie bei fuscus. Das Museum
besitzt ein Exemplar von Siao und eins von Gross Sangi, das
Berliner, Wiener und Braunschweiger je eins von Gross Sangi
(erstere 4 aus meinen Sammlungen, letzteres von Dr. P l a t e n ) mit
denselben Charakteren, 2 das Leidener (Cat. XI, 81 1892) eins von
„Sangi“, von dem Dr. J e n t i n k so freundlich war mir mitzutheilen,
dass der Schwanz und der Tarsus weniger behaart seien als bei
Celebes Exemplaren. Es liegt hierin also eine insulare Abweichung
und eine Hinneigung zur Philippinen Form. Ich hoffe später eine
Abbildung der Art geben zu können.

Tafel IV

Ich beschrieb diese Art Abh. Mus. Dresden 1894/5 Nr. 1 und habe
dem Gesagten wenig hinzuzufügen, da die Abbildung in n. Gr. zur
weiteren Erkennung der Merkmale genügen dürfte. Nur über die
Behaarung des Schwanzes möchte ich noch einige Worte sagen, da
diese, der Natur der Sache nach, in der Abbildung nicht deutlich
genug wiedergegeben werden konnte. Die proximalen ¾ des
Schwanzes sind fast nackt, nur mit spärlich und einzeln stehenden,
kaum 1 mm langen weissen Härchen besetzt; am distalen Viertel
werden sie allmählich bis 3 mm lang und an den distalen 4
Centimetern stehen sie eng aneinander und sind bräunlich gefärbt.
— Das Museum erhielt inzwischen 2 weitere Exemplare von den
Philippinen, und zwar noch eins von Samar durch Dr.
S c h a d e n b e r g und eins von Nord Mindanao durch Dr. R i z a l .
Das rothbraune Gesicht und überhaupt die braunere Farbe ist bei
allen auffallend, und sie sind hierdurch zusammen mit den fast
nackten Tarsen und dem wenig behaarten Schwanze leicht von
anderen Tarsiern zu unterscheiden.

9. Tarsius spectrum (Pall.)

B o r n e o -Exemplare zeigen vorwiegend braune Töne wie die von


den Philippinen, allein sie haben behaarte Tarsen und einen spärlich
behaarten Schwanz mit heller Quaste, wie T. spectrum von anderen
Inseln. Immerhin wäre es möglich, dass auch die Borneo Form als
locale abgetrennt werden könnte. Schon Te m m i n c k (Coup-d’oeil
III, 112 1849) sagt: „La même espèce se trouve aussi dans les
parties méridionales de Bornéo; toutefois elle paraît former une
variété locale propre à cette île. Le Tarsius spectrum de Célèbes a le
bout ou flocon terminal de la queue noir, celui de Bornéo a cette
partie d’un cendré-fauve.“ T. fuscus von Celebes unterscheidet sich
allerdings bedeutend von spectrum, wie wir besonders durch
W e b e r (Zool. Ergebn. III, 262 1893) wissen, ob aber die Borneo
Exemplare von denen der übrigen Inseln, wo Tarsius vorkommt,
hinlänglich und so constant differiren, um einen besonderen Namen
zu verdienen, kann ich wegen zu geringen Materiales von den
anderen Inseln nicht entscheiden. Das Museum besitzt 5 von
Borneo: vier vom Südosten und eins vom Westen. Auch die 3 von
Borneo im Berliner Museum zeichnen sich durch viel Braun aus, es
ist darunter eins vom Nordosten; H o s e führt welche (Mamm.
Borneo, Diss. 1893, 17, inl. Name ingkat) vom Nordwesten, W o l f f
(Natuurk. Tijdschr. Nederl. Ind. 16, 44 1858/9) welche von der
Ostküste auf, Tarsius ist also über ganz Borneo verbreitet. Auch auf
der [10]Insel K a r i m a t a , westlich von Borneo, kommt er vor
(Te i j s m a n n l. c. 36, 246 1876, inl. Name kebuku) und auf
S i r h a s s e n , einer der Natuna Inseln (T h o m a s & H a r t e r t
Nov. Zool. I, 655 1894). W e b e r (l. c. III, 263 1893) meinte, dass es
nicht ganz sicher gewesen wäre, ob T. spectrum auch auf
S u m a t r a lebe oder nicht, allein es lagen schon früher Exemplare
aus dem Lampongschen (Natuurk. Tijdschr. Nederl. Ind. 16, 87
1858/9 und 27, 383, 1864, inl. Name krabuku) in Batavia vor. (S.
noch mehrere inländische Bezeichnungen für Tarsius bei
H u b r e c h t l. c. 54, 39 1895.) Von B i l i t o n hat J e n t i n k (Notes
Leyden Mus. XII, 149 1890) die Art registrirt.

Ich hoffe auch von T. spectrum später eine Abbildung geben zu

Dieses grösste Raubthier von Celebes 1 blieb merkwürdig lange


unbekannt, es ist allen früheren Reisenden entgangen, oder wenn
sie davon gehört hatten, wie z. B. v. R o s e n b e r g (Mal. Arch.
1878, 268) und i c h , so war es ihnen nicht gelungen, es zu
erbeuten. Laut Tagebuchnotiz hörte ich am 20. Juni 1871 in Belang
in der Minahassa, dass ein „andjing utan“ (Waldhund) seit einiger
Zeit in der Nähe sei und Hühner weghole. Ich hatte schon früher
einen Preis auf das Thier, von dem Mancher in der Minahassa
sprach, gesetzt, aber erfolglos. Erst v a n M u s s c h e n b r o e k
verschaffte, als er 1875 Resident von Manado war, 5 Exemplare von
Kinilo und Tanawangko, und 1883 kamen durch v. F a b e r noch 7
nach Leiden, die von denselben Localitäten herrührten. 2 Das
Dresdener Museum erhielt seit Anfang 1894 6 Bälge mit den
Skeletten (2 m. u. 1 f. ad., 1 m. u. 1 f. jun., 1 f. juv.), beim Dorfe Kali
in der Nähe von Kakaskassen Februar, Mai und October in Fallen
gefangen, mit den Bezeichnungen andjing utan (mal.) und lonkoi.
Auch P. und F. S a r a s i n bekamen mehrere, wie sie mir unter dem
4. August 1894 mittheilten, und zwar aus den Wäldern, die die
verschiedenen Kraterberge in der Nähe von Rurukan bedecken. „Sie
nähren sich, wie uns die Untersuchung des Magens lehrte, sowohl
von Waldratten, als auch von den reifen Früchten der Papaya.“ Das
Thier ist daher keineswegs selten, wie man, da es so lange
unentdeckt geblieben ist, versucht sein könnte zu vermuthen. Der
Grund hiervon lag vielmehr darin, dass die Eingebornen den Fang
nicht übten, bis sie genügend dazu angespornt wurden, und dass die
Naturforscher früher die Art und Weise des Fanges nicht kannten,
sowie darin, dass das Thier überhaupt verborgen lebt und wohl nur
Nachts auf Raub ausgeht. Die bis jetzt bekannten Fundorte: Kinilo,
Rurukan und Kali liegen dicht bei einander, nicht fern von Manado;
Tanawangko etwas mehr westlich; allein die Art hat gewiss eine viel
weitere Verbreitung. Die R o s e n b e r g schen Angaben (s. bei
J e n t i n k Notes Leyden Mus. V, 179 1883) beziehen sich auf das
Gorontalosche, es ist jedoch noch fraglich, ob es sich dort, wie auch
bei meiner [11]Notiz von Belang, um P. musschenbroeki handelt. Ob
die Art auch in Central, Nordost und Süd Celebes 3 vorkommt, bleibt
festzustellen.

Ein altes Männchen und ein junges Weibchen sind auf Tafel V in ⅕–
⅙ n. Gr. abgebildet.

B l a n f o r d , der vorzügliche Kenner der Paradoxuri, sagt (P. Z. S.


1885, 790): „P. musschenbroeki differs greatly from all other species
in its annulated tail. The skull is intermediate in form between the last
mentioned little group (Paguma) and typical Paradoxuri, but rather
nearer to the former. The shape of the palate is peculiar“. Und (p.
806): „The most remarkable peculiarity of the skull and dentition is
that the rows of upper premolars and molars, instead of diverging
greatly behind, as in all other Paradoxuri, are nearly parallel 4, the
hinder part of the palate being proportionately much narrower than in
other species of the genus. The distance between the anterior
premolars is 0.68 inch [17,3 mm], between the last molars 0.77
[19,6]. In other species the latter measurement exceeds the former
by at least one half“. Die von B l a n f o r d erwähnten Maasse sind
bei dem Tafel VI Figur 1 in ⅓ n. Gr. abgebildeten männlichen adulten
Skelette (2324) 20,6 und 23,6 mm, der Schädel ist auch länger mit
157 mm, gegen 146 (5.75 inches) bei B l a n f o r d . J e n t i n k (p.
179) giebt die Länge eines adulten Schädels auf 148 mm an, die
Breite auf 45, die Jochbogenbreite auf 85, bei dem 157 mm langen
Schädel von 2324 ist die Breite nur 43 und die Jochbogenbreite 79,
er ist also länger und schmäler als der von J e n t i n k abgebildete.
Die ersten Praemolaren sind noch vorhanden, J e n t i n k sagt, sie
fehlen bei adulten Exemplaren, was aber wohl nur bei alten der Fall
sein mag, denn 2324 ist adult, wenn auch etwas jünger als das
Exemplar a (Cat. p. 94), dessen Schädel J e n t i n k abbildete. Länge
des Körpers und Kopfes des ausgestopften Ex. (2310, zu Skelet
2324) 820 mm, Länge vom Vertex zum Anus 680, Länge des
Schwanzes 690.

Da mir das Exemplar 2310 in Spiritus zukam, so liess ich die (linke)
Vola und Planta, ihres bemerkenswerthen Oberflächenreliefs wegen,
photographiren und bilde sie Tafel VI Figur 2 und 3 in n. Gr. ab. Ein
auffallender Unterschied mit anderen von mir daraufhin untersuchten
Paradoxuri besteht darin, dass die Tastballen bei P. musschenbroeki
glatt, bei jenen gefeldert sind.

V o l a (Figur 2). Die 5 Nagel- oder Endballen (a–e) 5 sind relativ


mässig, die sie verbindende Schwimmhaut dagegen ist sehr stark
entwickelt, die 4 Metacarpophalangealballen (α–δ), besonders der 3.
(γ), zeigen mächtige Ausbildung, wie auch der Radial- und der
Ulnarballen (r und u), besonders letzterer, der überhaupt der grösste
Tastballen der Vola ist; der 4. Metacarpophalangealballen (δ) zeigt
proximal eine kleine Abschnürung; ein Pisiformballen (P) ist kaum
angedeutet. Diese Metacarpophalangeal-, Radial- und Ulnarballen
bilden mehr oder weniger ein zusammenhängendes, nur durch
schmale Furchen von einander getrenntes Gebilde, mit der
Ausnahme jedoch, dass sie in der Mitte eine mit groben Warzen
besetzte vertiefte intermediäre Tastfläche 6 umschliessen, auch
proximal und peripher reihen sich den Ballen einige Warzen an; die
Tastballen aber sind ganz glatt und nicht mit Warzen besetzt.

P l a n t a (Figur 3). Die Endballen und Metatarsophalangealballen


verhalten sich sehr ähnlich denen der Vola, so dass die Abbildung
zum Verständnisse genügen dürfte. Der Tibialballen (t) ist
langgestreckt, und verschmälert sich proximalwärts, der
Fibularballen (f) ist etwas kürzer; zwischen beiden liegt eine
längliche intermediäre Tastfläche, die mit unregelmässig
angeordneten polygonalen oder abgerundeten, groben, an einander
stossenden Warzen besetzt ist. Die peripher stehenden Warzen sind
hier regelmässiger (einreihig) angeordnet als auf der Vola.

Untersucht man dagegen dieselben Gebilde z. B. bei P. musanga Gr.


(B 3261 von Sumatra, in Spiritus), so findet man eine grosse Reihe
von Unterschieden, vor Allem aber sieht man schon mit
unbewaffnetem Auge, dass alle Tastballen gleichmässig mit
polygonalen flachen Hautwarzen vollkommen [12]besetzt sind, und
ebenso die intermediären Tastflächen, soweit vorhanden, so dass
ein dichtes Netzwerk, eine Felderung, entsteht; nur die
Schwimmhaut zwischen den Endballen und den Metacarpo- und
Metatarsophalangealballen ist glatt. Die 5 Endballen der Vola und
Planta sind sehr stark entwickelt. Der 1. Metacarpophalangealballen
steht etwas abgegrenzt, die anderen 3 sind aber fast mit einander
verschmolzen; der Ulnarballen ist sehr gross, der Radialballen etwas
kleiner, beide liegen aber direct an den Metacarpophalangealballen;
dem Ulnarballen reiht sich ein kleiner Pisiformballen an. 1. und 2.
Metatarsophalangealballen etwas gegeneinander abgegrenzt, 3. und
4. mit einander verschmolzen; Tibial- und Fibularballen
langgestreckt, letzterer etwas breiter und distal mit dem 1.
Metatarsophalangealballen verschmolzen; zwischen dem Tibial- und
Fibularballen eine lange breite intermediäre Tastfläche mit groben
polygonalen, an einander stossenden Warzen besetzt.

An trockenen Exemplaren lässt sich die Disposition der Tastballen


nicht genau studiren, ihre Felderung aber konnte ich bei P. musanga
von Borneo, fasciatus Desm. von Java, philippensis Jourd. von
Panay und leucomystax Gr. von Borneo (?) als die gleiche erkennen
wie bei P. musanga in Spiritus. K l a a t s c h (Morphol. Jahrb. 14, 417
1888) beschreibt die Ballen von P. typus [niger (Desm.)] auch als mit
grösseren polygonalen, ziemlich flachen Hautwarzen besetzt, es
scheint also, dass die meisten, wenn nicht alle Paradoxurus-Arten,
bis auf P. musschenbroeki, gefelderte Tastballen haben, während
dieser die glatten mit Viverren gemein hat. 7 Das Oberflächenrelief
einer jeden Paradoxus Art wird wohl anders gestaltet sein, allein
wenn alle bis auf P. musschenbroeki gefelderte Tastballen besitzen,
so hat dieses abweichende Verhalten des letzteren doch wohl mehr
Gewicht. Allerdings kommen derartige morphologische
Differenzirungen innerhalb einer Gattung auch sonst vor, wie wir
denn oben (S. 8) eine solche, nach W e b e r , in dem beschuppten
und glatten Tarsier-Schwanze zu erkennen hatten; falls jedoch dies
Verhalten von P. musschenbroeki unter den Paradoxuri wirklich ein
isolirtes ist, und Hand in Hand geht mit den anderen abweichenden
Charakteren (Schädel, Schwanzringelung etc.), so wäre eine
generische Abtrennung vielleicht geboten. Der ganze Habitus von P.
musschenbroeki weicht von dem der anderen Paradoxuri durch
Plumpheit ab, der dicke Kopf ferner mit seinen langen steifen, hellen
und dunklen Schnurren, und die breiten Füsse mit ihren stark
ausgebildeten Schwimmhäuten geben dem Thier etwas otterartiges,
was Jedem sofort in die Augen springt, so dass man zuerst gar
keinen Paradoxurus vor sich zu haben vermeint.
1 Wie Cryptoprocta ferox Th. Benn. das grösste von Madagaskar; Paradoxurus
leucomystax Gr. von Malacca, Borneo und Sumatra ist kleiner als P.
musschenbroeki. ↑
2 F a b e r hatte 1878 auch zwei Exemplare an das Gothaer Museum geschickt. ↑
3 Te i j s m a n n (Natuurk. Tijdschr. Nederl. Ind. 38, 77 1879) hörte, dass sie am
Pik von Bonthain vorkomme, dies bedarf natürlich der Bestätigung; W e b e r
(Zool. Erg. I, 110 1890) fand in Süd Celebes keine Spur davon, ebensowenig wie
W i c h m a n n (l. c.) als er von Palos nach Parigi ging, allein wenn man bedenkt,
wie lange das relativ grosse Thier in der naturwissenschaftlich so viel
durchsuchten Minahassa verborgen blieb, so sind solche negativen Befunde
vorläufig ganz und gar nicht beweisend. ↑
4 Wie aus J e n t i n k s Pl. 2 ersichtlich. ↑
5 Ich folge der Nomenklatur und sonst K l a a t s c h : Zur Morphologie der
Tastballen der Säugethiere (Morphol. Jahrb. 14, 407 1888). ↑
6 K o l l m a n n : Tastapp. d. Hand 1883, 40. ↑
7 Bei Viverra civetta Schreb. fand K l a a t s c h (p. 418) sie glatt und punktirt, was
ich auch für V. tangalunga Gr. angeben kann, die Tastballen bei Paradoxurus
musschenbroeki aber zeigen diese höckerige Punktirung nicht, sie sind ganz
glatt. ↑

Es könnte ein Zweifel darüber entstehen, ob H e u d e oder S t e e r e


als Autor dieser Art zu nennen sei, da S t e e r e s erste Beschreibung
am 16. August 1888 veröffentlicht war, und das 1. Heft des 2.
Bandes der Mémoires concernant l’histoire naturelle de l’empire
chinois par des pères de la compagnie de Jésus in Chang-Hai im
Jahr 1888 ohne Datum erschien. Es lässt sich aber aus
buchhändlerischen Catalogen (z. B. F r i e d l ä n d e r Nat. nov. Sept.
1888, 289) nachweisen, dass H e u d e s Publication vor August statt
gefunden hat, und dieser daher, und nicht S t e e r e , als Autor
figuriren muss.

Der einheimische Name des Zwergbüffels von Mindoro ist, nach


vielfachen Angaben, Ta m a r a o 1, nicht Tamaron oder Tamarou, wie
S t e e r e (P. Z. S. 1888, 414 und List 1890, 29) schreibt. Er ist bis
jetzt nur von Mindoro bekannt, denn dass E l e r a (l. c.) ihn auch von
Celebes aufführt, beruht auf einer Verwechslung mit der Anoa oder
auf einer anderen Unzulänglichkeit, wie man sie auf Schritt und Tritt
in seiner Compilation antrifft. N e h r i n g (SB. Ges. naturf. Berlin
1894, 185) beschrieb von der Mindoro nahen Calamianen Insel
Busuanga noch einen wilden Büffel als B. moellendorffi, der etwas
grösser als der Tamarao sei, allein ich halte ihn nicht für einen
wilden, da Dr. S c h a d e n b e r g mir mittheilte, dass es nach der
Aussage von Don B e r n a r d o A s c a n i o , der 20 Jahr auf den
Calamianen, speziell in Malbató auf Busuanga gelebt hat, dort keine
wilden Büffel gebe. Dass auf der kleinen Insel Jemandem, der so
lange dort als Pflanzer ansässig ist, das Vorhandensein wilder Büffel
unbekannt geblieben sein sollte, kann man ausschliessen; es
handelt sich daher nur um einen verwilderten, oder vielleicht nicht
einmal um einen solchen, 2 falls man darunter nur schon seit
Generationen verwilderte versteht. 3 Dr. S c h a d e n b e r g theilte mir
mit, dass auf Mindoro verwilderte Büffel neben dem Tamarao
vorkommen sollen, er habe aber keine gesehen; man spräche auch
davon, dass sie sich mit Tamaraos kreuzten, worüber er sich jedoch
vorläufig kein Urtheil erlauben wolle. Den Schädel eines solchen
angeblich wilden Carabao von Mindoro sandte er auch ein (B 3199).
Die bis jetzt bekannten Tamaraos geben keinen Anlass zur
Annahme von Kreuzungen, und wenn sie ausnahmsweise statt
hätten, so würde dies bei dem zweifellosen Überwiegen des auf
ganz Mindoro und, wie es scheint, zahlreich vorkommenden
Tamarao wahrscheinlich keinen dauernden Einfluss auf die
Umgestaltung der Art gewinnen können. J o r d a n a (Bosquejo
1885, 172) sagt: „El Tamarao es animal muy agreste y vigoroso, que
á veces lucha victoriosamente con el bufelo silvestre en el seno de
los bosques“, allein auf solche Angaben nach Hörensagen ist vorerst
gar Nichts zu geben.

J e n t i n k (l. c. 204) hält es für möglich, dass der Tamarao ein


Bastard zwischen Bubalus bubalus und Anoa depressicornis von
Celebes sei. Ich kann mir gar nicht vorstellen, wie eine solche
Hybridisation hätte zu Stande kommen sollen. Dazu hätte die Anoa
zahlreich nach Mindoro gebracht worden sein [14]müssen, was
gewiss nicht geschehen ist. Auch ist der Tamarao eine ganz stabile,
typische und gewiss alte Form. Der Schädel 1569 des Museums,
den S e m p e r vor dem Jahr 1865 erhielt, stimmt vollkommen
überein mit denen von in den Jahren 1894 und 1895 durch
S c h a d e n b e r g erlegten Exemplaren. Dies beweist schon die
Constanz, nicht minder wie die in den Museen vorhandenen, ganz
untereinander übereinstimmenden Häute es darthun. Nimmt
J e n t i n k an, dass die Anoa früher auf Mindoro gelebt habe, und
sich dann mit den importirten Büffeln kreuzte? Welche Gründe
könnte man wohl zu Gunsten einer solchen Annahme ins Feld
führen? L y d e k k e r , der (l. c. 306) die Möglichkeit einer
Bastardirung nach J e n t i n k nicht abweist, sagt, der Tamarao
müsse noch als gute Art erwiesen werden. Wenn aber, wie jetzt,
schon viele gleiche Exemplare bekannt sind (Berlin 1, Dresden 6,
Leiden 3, Manila 2, Paris 2, durch Steere 3, Stuttgart 1 etc.), so ist
es mir ganz unerfindlich, wesshalb man noch an der Artberechtigung
zweifeln, oder einen Bastard im Tamarao erblicken wollte. Auch
vermag ich J e n t i n k darin nicht beizustimmen, dass er meint,
wenn der Tamarao kein Bastard sei, so müsse er eine neue
generische Bezeichnung erhalten, da er weder als echter Büffel,
noch als Anoa angesehen werden könne, denn der Tamarao hat, m.
A. n., genügend Büffelcharaktere, um ihn zu den übrigen Büffeln zu
stellen. Doch die Bildung einer neuen Gattung ist in diesem Fall
unwesentlich und mehr oder weniger Geschmacksache. Die
Hypothese, dass der Tamarao ein Bastard sei, halte ich für um so
entbehrlicher, als sie an und für sich wenig plausibel ist. Tamarao
und Anoa können vielmehr als Nachkommen des Sivalikrindes
angesehen werden, daher die vielfache Übereinstimmung. Die
insulare Sonderung führte zu einer Divergenz in ihrer Entwicklung,
auf Celebes zur Anoa, auf Mindoro zum Tamarao. Diese Hypothese,
wenn schon eine aufgestellt werden soll, scheint mir weit
annehmbarer. (Vgl. H e l l e r : A n o a in Abh. Mus. Dresden 1890/1
Nr. 2 p. 34.)
