TUPAIA PICTA Thomas. 



1892. Tupaia picta Thomas, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. G, vol. 9, p. 251, March, 

 1892. 



Type-locality. — ^Apoh, Baram, northern Borneo. 



Type-specimen. — In British Museum, Reg. No. 92.2.8.1, skin and 

 skull of adult, sex unknown, collected by A. Everett, at Apoh,^ Baram, 

 Borneo, September, 1891; sldn in good condition; skull with supra- 

 occipital missing. 



GeograpJiic distribution. — Baram region, Sarawak, northern Borneo. 

 There are no definite records of its occurring elsewhere. I have seen 

 one specimen labeled "Sarawak," but this probably refers to the state 

 and not the town, and another labeled "Balmgean, Sarawak." I have 

 been unable to find a to^vn or other place of this name on any of the 

 numerous maps of Borneo which I have examiaed. See No. 22 on 

 map on page 75. 



1 The label of the typo-specimen is marked "Baram, N. Borneo, Apoh." Apoh appears to be applied to 

 a group of low (GOO feet} nills south of Mount Mulu; the name is also applied to a river in the same neigh- 

 borhood, a tributary of the Baram River. In his Mammals of Borneo, 1893, page 32, Mr. C. Hose says that 

 the type of the species came from the Ridan River, a small tributary of the Baram, just below Claudetown. 

 c distance of about 25 miles from the Apoh River.
