Regarding the localities at which the specimens were collected, 

 unfortunately satisfactory information is at present lacking, as few 

 of them are given on maps of the island, and thus far efforts to secure 

 the desired information as to their location have failed. If received 

 later it will be given in another connection. 1 The names of the locali- 

 ties are in many cases printed on the labels with a rubber stamp, and 

 .are thus clearly legible ; in other cases they are so clearly written that 

 every letter is distinct, and the intended orthography unquestionably 

 determinable. The localities, in alphabetic order, with the number 

 of specimens and date of collecting at each, are as follows : 



Cheteriang, Jan. 5-29, 1904; 7 specimens. 



Henron, May 10, 1904; i specimen. 



Hoi-how, Dec. 25, 1902, and Jan. 4, 1903; 2 specimens. 



Lei-Mui-Mon, Dec. 19, 1902, Jan. 14, 1903; 41 specimens. 



Liudon, March 5 and May 8 ; 1903 ; 3 specimens. 



Manrin, June 10, 1903, and June n, 1904; 3 specimens. 



Manrun, June 20, 1904; i specimen. 



Mount Wuchi, April 6, 1903 ; i specimen. 



Porten, July 2-4, 1904; 43 specimens. 



Pouten, July 2-4, 1904; 55 specimens. 



The specimens from Porten and Pouten are all bats; the names on the labels 

 are in different handwriting for the two localities, and may refer to the same 

 place, or may be merely names of different neighboring caves. 



Rinsui, July i and 2, 1904; 33 specimens. 



Rintoi, July i and 2, 1904; 28 specimens. 



The specimens from Rinsui and Rintoi are also all bats, and these localities 

 are doubtless close to Porten and Pouten, and may be merely names of caves, 

 all situated within a small area. Nearly all the bats collected are labeled with 

 one or the other of these four names. 



Riudon, March 3-11, 1903; 9 specimens. 



Taipin, June i, 1905; i specimen. 



Utoshi, March 20, 1903; 2 specimens. 



Youboi, June 21, 1904; i specimen. 



A few specimens are without definite localities, owing to the loss of labels. 



The island of Hainan has evidently a rich mammal fauna, and 

 doubtless future collections from the island will greatly extend the 

 present list, which is very deficient in Muridae.
