MENDANAU. 



'Tragulwf " kanchil." — " Heard that a Kanchil occurs on the island." 

 Sciurus mendanauus, p. 589. — "A local race of Sciurus jirevodii wan coinmon;

Manis. — 3fanis javanica. — Willink, Natuurkundig Tijdschrift Nederlandsch-Indie, 

 LXV, 1905, p. 269. " Tenggeling {Manis) is said to exist." No specimens taken. 



Tragulus billitonus, p. 578. — "A small napu is common; there is no kanchil or 

 plandok." Jentink & doubtfully recorded Tragulus kanchil from Billiton, thinking 

 that kidang had the same meaning as kanchil among the natives; but kldang or kljang 

 refers to the Muntlacns. 



Muntiacus bancanus, p. 582. — " The Kijang was common, but I did not see it. I 

 frequently heard them barking." Doctor Abbott obtained from the natives a pair 

 of antlers and the frontlet. 



Rusa brookei, p. 584. — " A small Rusa is common; I only shot one female." 



Sus sp. — Doctor Abbott failed to obtain any pigs, but remarks: "They were com- 

 mon, in some places evidently very abundant; I only had a glimpse of one." No 

 pigs are recorded by Jentink or AVillink. 



Ratufa polia, p. 585. — "There were plenty of Ratufa at Bukit Menguru, about 1 J 

 miles west of Buding Bay. Local name Jiluling." 



Sciurus prevostll. — Jentink, Notes Leyden Museum, XIII, 1891, p. 209; thought to 

 be introduced. Willink, Natuurkundig Tijdschrift Nederlandsch-Indie, LXV, p. 240. 

 Doctor Abbott remarks: "The Tupai blang {Scliinis prevostll) is said to occur, but it 

 is rare. I did not see it. An old Malay said they occurred, but were rare, in the 

 heavy forests of the interior of the island." 



Sciurus billitonus, p. 592. 



Sciuropterus vordermanni, p. 593. — "Local name Kiipooa." 



Nannoschiriis. — "I did not meet with Nannosclurns, although I occasionally heard 

 its shrill whistle. The natives all knew it." Nannosciurus melanotis Willink, 

 Natuurkundig Tijdschrift Nederlandsch-Indie, LXV, 1905, p. 249. 



Mus cremoriventer, p. 595. — "Rats were scarce on Billiton."

Viverra tang-alunga, p. 597. — "Trapped by natives." 



Paradoxurus canescens, p. 597. — "Trapped by natives." 



Arctog-alidia minor, p. 599. — "Local name for Musang is Galing. This animal 

 was one of a pair passing through the tree tops one evening. They were going to 

 feed on a wild fruit tree, where I afterwards shot this one. As this genus keeps in 

 the tree tops, it can not be trapped as Mverra and Paradoxurus are." 



«"Bleeker, enfin, m'assure avoir regu ce singe de File de Bangka."
