QUADRUPEDS OF BORNEO. 487 



has a wild dog, the Canis Sumatranus, as has likewise 

 Java, Canis Javanicus ; the Borneon variety may in like 

 manner be termed Canis Borneoensis. The Fiverra 

 zibetka, Paradoxurus typm, Sus barbatus, and the Cercopi- 

 thecns cynomolgm may also be enumerated among the 

 Mammalia of this vast island, and the list might easily be

 although hotly pursued and fired at, contrived to escape 

 unscathed into the jungle; on another occasion, I found 

 myself face to face with an individual of the same species, 

 which on seeing me, trotted leisurely away. 



At the village of Kabatuan, I noticed a very fine 

 specimen of the red-necked Ichneumon (Herpestes semi- 

 torquafus); it was quite tame in the house of one of the 

 principal Pangerans, but although I affected to admire it 

 exceedingly, the old gentleman did not seem inclined to 

 part with it; and on the mountain of Serambo, the Dyaks 

 brought us a living specimen of a beautiful little squirreL 

 no larger than a Dormouse, the Sciurus wills ; it was
