MAMMALS. 



The mammals did not prove interesting and, as is always the case 

 in districts inhabited by large numbers of Sakai, were very scarce. 

 The following species only were obtained : 



1. MUSTELA FLAYIGULA PENINSULAEIS, Bonhote. 

 1 ?. 



2. SCIURUS ERYTHR^US RUBECULUS, Miller. 



1 ^, 1?. 



Rather more ochreous on the head than is usual in specimens 

 from the Selangor main range. 



3. TAMIOPS MACCLELLANDI NOVEMLINEATUS, Miller. 



2 ?. 



Typical specimens of this race. 



4. SCIURUS TENUIS TAHAN, Bonhote. 

 A single female. Is rather intermediate between the lowland 

 and the mountain race. 



5. LARISCUS INSIGNIS JALORENSIS, Bonhote, 



1 ?■ 



By no means typical being much more rufous beneath and on the 

 thio-hs, in this respect approaching specimens from Singapore and 

 southern Johore. Approached in this respect by a specimen from 

 Bukit Kutu, Selangor, 3,000 feet, and possibly indicating a distinct 

 mountain race. The area between the black back stripes is not 

 however tinged with rufous as in the southern form above mentioned, 

 Lariscus insignis meridionalis. 



6. EPIMYS CREMORIVENTER, Miller. 



Two quite typical females. 



7. TUPAIA PERRUGINEA, Subsp. 

 A single female. Specimen approaches the more northern forms 

 in the much less ferruginous upper surface and in the paler under 

 surface to the tail. 



BIRDS. 



The birds also were of no particular interest, the avifauna being 

 precisely similar to that of the Batang Padang mountains, some forty 

 miles to the south, which has been very exhaustively studied. 



Our collectors were therefore instructed not to make unnecessarily 

 large collections but to specially search for any species unfamiliar to 

 them ; it may therefore be taken as reasonably certain that no 

 species unrecorded from the Malay Peninsula has escaped their 

 notice. 



The following species were actually obtained : 



1. ARBORICOLA CAMPBELLI, Robinson. 



1 ?.
