MAMMALS COLLECTED BY DR. \V. L. ABBOTT 243 



In addition to these species a Manis and two small carnivores prob- 

 ably occur. Of the latter Dr. Abbott writes : "Natives said there 

 were two sorts of musangs. One, the larger, which they called tan- 

 galunga, was probably Vlvcrra tangahmga ; the other, a smaller 

 animal may have been Paradoxuriis hermaphroditus."

"No mammals obtained. Some fishermen who were visiting the 

 island said that squirrels and rats existed. We saw some rats, but no 

 squirrels."
