PULO CONDORE AND ITS MAMMALS. 75 



These travellers record the following animals : — 



Monkeys. Fisher, Finlayson, Crawfurd. 



Flying Squirrel (striped brown and white). Fisher. 



Black squirrel. Fisher, Finlayson, Crawfurd. 



Wild pig. Dampier, Fisher, Finlayson. 



Wild cocks and hens. Dampier, Fisher. 



Doves and Pigeons. Dampier, Crawfurd (if. bicolor and 



M. aenea). 

 Parrots and parakeets. Dampier. 

 Turtles. Dampier, Staunton. 

 Lizards. Dampier. 

 Iguanas (Varanus sp.). Dampier. 

 Limpets and Mussels. Dampier. 



The group does not look like one with a rich mammalian 

 fauna. Dr. Malcolm Smith's investigations (in September 1919 he 

 sent two of his collectors to the islands, where they spent about a 

 fortnight, with instructions to obtain mammals as well as reptiles 

 and batrachians) have, however, considerably increased our knowledge 

 of it by adding, to the live determined species on record, four more 

 of which one, at least, is new — the Giant Squirrel : and perhaps the 

 Macaque and the Palm-Civet also; but of this last the only example 

 obtained is too young to speak about. 



We have still to receive specimens of the Wild Hog and Flying 

 Squirrel of the earlier visitors : and it is probable that there will 

 eventually be discovered a lesser Fruit-bat (Cynopterus sp.) and one 

 or more insectivorous bats, a race of Forest-rat (.K. rajah subsp.) and 

 a Mouse-deer (Tragulus sp.) 



1 Macaca irus Cuv., subsp. 



1 6 aged, 1 d adult, 1 9 aged. Pulo Condore, 19-23 Sept. 

 1919. [Nos 2691, 2, 3/CBK. ] Dr. Malcolm Smith's collector. 



These Macaques are either M. i. validus (Elliot, Ann. & Mag. 

 Nat. Hist. (8) VI, 1909, p. 252 : stated to have come from Cochin- 

 China) or are closely related to it.
