I'l. Cynopterus brachyotus Miill. 



[This species — if it he a (hstiiict species from the foregoing one — occun-ed at 

 Bunguran. — A. E.j 



H. Rhinolophus affinis Horsf. 



a. Sirhassen, September 2l!nl. 



This specimen appears to helong to tlie small rac(> of R. ajjinis, to which the 

 provisional name of R. fiffivis rouxi Temni. was a[)plit'(l hv one of us in 18!(2.* Its 

 forearm is only 43 mm. in length. 



1','. Megaderma spasma (L.)- 

 Six specimens from I'unguran. 

 Distributed over the Peninsula and Archipelago. 



[Found in Bunguran iu the hold of a ship laid up on the boaeh, and also in holes 

 in trees. — A. E.] 



1;'.. Vespertilio muricola Itudgs. 



Seven from Bunguran. 



P'ound in the leaf-crowns of bananas. ."Mainland and .\rcliipelago. 



14. Taphozous melanopog^on 'rcmm. 



Nine specimens from Bunguran, October. 

 Distributed over India to Borneo. 



[Abundant in the rocky shelters formed liy the large boulders heaped together at 

 high-water mark on the shore at Bunguran. — A. E.] 



15. Crocidura sp. 

 [According to the Malays, shrews exist on Sirhassen Island. — .\. 1'!.] 



1 0. Ptilocercus lowi < > ray. 



[This remarkable animal was described to me, beyond doubt, as I think, by the 

 Sirhassen natives, but it seemed to be unknown to the Bunguran jieople. The 

 Sirhassen jNIalays called it " Pantus." — A. E.] 



IT. Tupaia splendidula (iray. 

 (P. /. S., 186,5, p. 322.) 



From Bunguran only. A .single skin and two in spirits. 



These s|)ecimens agree very fairly with the typical skin in the British Museum, 

 which was said to have come from Borneo, but as among the large series of tree- 

 shrews which ha\e been received from that island of late years no sjiecimen of it has 

 occurred, it seems possil)le that the Natunas are its true habitat. This is the more 

 probable as the si)irit specimen referred by Gray to the same species in the original 

 description proves on a renewed examination to be a young individual of T. tana 

 Raffl., and, having been obtained by Sir Hugh Low, of course really did come from
