A ZOOLOGICAL AND ETHNOLOGICAL EXPEDITION TO DUTCH 
ANSI BORNEO? WIAINT AEN De BY SDR WE AB BOM, 
As a result of the zoological and ethnological explorations carried 
on for many years by Dr. W. L. Abbott in the East Indies, the 
National Museum, through his generosity, contains the largest and 
most important collections from that part of the world to be found 
in any museum. Having discontinued the work himself, he was, 
nevertheless, desirous that collections should be made in Dutch East 
Borneo, a region which he had not visited, and with much liberality 
he provided the means for sending Mr. H. C. Raven into that terri- 
tory to procure characteristic mammals as well as any ethnological 
material that might prove of interest. A letter from Mr. Raven, 
who left the United States about March 1, 1912, and 1s still in the 
held, announces that he has had a successful trip and has made a 
large collection.

Mr. Daniel Denison Streeter, Jr., of Brooklyn, N. Y., offered his 
services as a volunteer collaborator for the National Museum. He 
sailed from New York about April 15, 1912, and returned to the 
United States in December. He passed from Sarawak into Dutch 
Borneo by ascending the Rejang River and crossing the mountains 
on the dividing line to the Kajan River. He then ascended to the 
head of this river, and crossed another range to the head-waters of the 
Mahakam River which he descended to the Strait of Macassar. A 
small but interesting collection of mammals was secured, including 
two skulls of the Rhinoceros.
