[Tliis species is quite the commonest of the spiny rats in tin* 

 Peniusula, aud iu the districts in wliich it occurs is a r1(H:'ided mii«anc<' 

 as it springs the traps before other aud more desirable hpecie.s liave 

 time to get cauglit. Even when cauglit, it is a most unsHtisfactnrv 

 animal as tlie skin is so papery and the pelage so har.sh that it in 

 almost impossible to make satisfactory Museum 8|>ecimen8 out of it. 

 It decomposes with unexampled rapidity aud .seems to Ix? more atta<-k- 

 ed by ants, when in the trap, than any other rat. 



The form from Chaugi, Singapore, of which we securetl some 50 or 

 60, struck us, in the flesh, as being both smaller aud l)ri^'hter than 

 those from other localities, though in individual specimens the iliflfe- 

 rences are not very tangible. — H. C. R. and C. V>. K.]
