examination of the markings in Tana tana and Tupaia picta shows 

 that the resemblance is more superficial than real. The skull of 

 Tupaia picta is a typical Tupaia skull, and the arrangement of the 

 naked area on the end of the nose and the small size of the claws all 

 show it to be a true Tupaia. The distribution of Tupaia picta seems 

 to be quite restricted. Judging by the number of specimens exam- 

 ined it appears to be a fairly common animal in the Baram District, 

 and I doubt if it occurs in southern Borneo, as Doctor Abbott would 

 probably have encountered it sometime during his four expeditions 

 there. In his Mammals of Borneo ^ Hose says of it: ''This tree- 

 shrew is more common in the low country than on the mountains; 

 it is usually found in the dense forest and is particularly^ active in its 

 movement." 



Specimens examined.— Fourteen, all apparently from the Baram 



District, Borneo.
