 longirostris. Java. 

 Rhinoceros sumatrensis. Assam to Siam, Malay

 Tapirus indicus. S. Tenasserim, Malay Peninsula, 



and Sumatra. 



Elephas indicus. Probably introduced. 

 EFFODIENTIA. Manis javanica (Palawan sub-group). 



In this list the genera Nasalis, Trichys, and Rhithrosciurus are 

 peculiar to the group, while Ptilocercus is almost so ; and, includ- 

 ing the latter, there are no less than fifty-one species peculiar to 

 Malaysia. Of these a very large number are common to Sumatra 

 or the Malay Peninsula, or both together, while a smaller number 

 occur in Java. There are but six species common to peninsular 

 India, among which the Indian elephant and the sambar may have 

 been introduced ; but there are ten which are found in the Eastern 

 Himalaya or Assam. The most remarkable among these is the 

 Himalayan water-shrew (Chimarrogale himalayica), which is only 



1 Founded on a skull from the island of Busuanga, in the Calamianes, 

 which probably indicates only a race (? introduced) of the buffalo. 



2 The so-called C. equinus is regarded by Dr Blanford as not specifically 

 distinct from C. tinicolor. This being so, it is probable that the Bornean 

 form described by Mr C. Hose (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. xn. p. -206) 

 as C. brookei is also a variety. 



3 Sits ahanobarbus, Huet, from Palawan, and S. calamianensis, Heude, 

 from the Calamianes, are identified by Dr Nehring (Sb. Ges. Nattirf. Berlin, 

 1894, pp. 190, 191) with this species.
