MR. A. H. EVERETT ON THE 



[May 16, 



that this is the case ; but the discovery of some subfossil molars in 

 Sarawak, which have been identified as belonging to this species on 

 good authoi'ity \ render it probable that it may yet be discovered in 

 the comparatively unexplored interior. It is remarkable, in this 

 connexion, how extremely rare the remains of Pleistocene or Quater- 

 nary mammals ajjpear to be in Borneo, and this scarcity must be 

 real, taking into account the extensive surface-mining which has 

 long been practised in Western and South-eastern Borneo, and the 

 value which natives set on such objects as fossil teeth for use as 

 charms, medicine, &c. 



Notwithstanding the numerous additions made in recent years 

 to the list of the Mammals of Borneo and Palawan bj^ Mr. John 

 "Whitehead and of Borneo by Mr. Charles Hose, many species 

 doubtless await discovery, especially among the smaller mammals 

 and the Cetacea, of which latter our knowledge I'emains at present 

 practically a blank. Among the Chiroptera particularly, it may 

 be expected that a number of species alreadj' known in the neigh- 

 bouring countries will be detected as ranging into some part of the 

 Bornean group, such, for instance, as MiniopterKS sclireihersi, 

 Kerivoula picta, Vesperfilio hasselii, Vesperugo cibramus, V. noctida, 

 Y.pacliypus, Hipposiderus sjyeoris, Xantharpyia amplexicaudata, &c. 



In concluding these brief remarks I wish to express my best 

 thanks to Mr. Oldfield Thomas, of the British Museum, to whose 

 courtesy and assistance I have been frequently indebted both in 

 the identification of species and in various other ways.
