This rare Malayan rat has hitherto been taken only on the 

 mountains at altitudes of 3,000 ft. or so. It was therefore 

 a surprise to find that it occurred in the plains at the foot 

 of Kedah Peak, while it was not met with on that mountain 

 itself.

I Male. 



The lesser Malayan mouse-deer (pelandoc), appeared to be 

 very common at Gurun, as during our stay of a couple of days 

 a number were brought to us by the inhabitants who, how- 

 ever, said they w^ere unable to trap the napu or larger mouse- 

 deer. 



In the examples of the pelandoc which we examined the 

 nape-stripe was a clear black, sharply margined and con- 

 trasted with the colour of the sides of the neck, and cannot 

 quite be matched by numerous other examples from all parts 

 of the Peninsula.
