33. Sciuropterus phayrei IJlyth (?). 

 (Blyth, Jouni. As. Soc. Bemj., xxxiii., p. 278.) 



Three specimens in spirit from liunguran. 



M'c are in some doubt as to the determination of this Hying sciuirrol, for want 

 of authentic specimens of Blyth's <S'. phaijrei, which must certainly be closely allied 

 to it. For the present therefore we do not think it safe to describe the Natuna form 

 as new, even if hereafter it may prove specifically separable. 



The three specimens were found together in a hole in a tree. 



31. Tragulus javanicus Desm. 



Si)ecimens received from l>iinguran, luit seen by the collector also in Sirhassen. 

 [Found in both islands. Tlie Malays say that Tnigidud iiajiK is also found in 

 Uunguran. — A. E.] 



35. Cervus equinus (?). 



[The deer is found in Bunguran only, where it has been introduced from .Sambas 

 by the Malays. 



No Cervidus occurs either in Bungm-an or (Sirhassen, so far as I could hear. 

 —A. E.]

 South Natuna.s. — A. K.j
