" Common, but not often seen except in the hot, dry weather. I came 

 up one path for 40 miles and saw dozens, in April. While I was in camp 

 the other end, it rained heavily on four or five days, and on the way back, 

 when the ground was wet and I wanted specimens, I could not shoot one. 

 I saw only three or four the whole way. The same applies to Menetes 

 berdmorei. The local explanation is that the wet both brings out insects, 

 &c., and softens the ground, making them easy to dig for, and so Tupaias, 

 &c., and creep about in holes and under logs and stones, instead of having 

 to push round on the suface and up and down tree-trunks. This seems 

 possible, but the Karen is not nearly such a clever observer as the Chin."
