 near Puerto Princesa. There still remain considerable unexplored 

 regions, so that the discovery of many new and interesting forms

 which constitute the Palawan fauna, the following tabular list is 

 appended. Only those species marked with an asterisk have been 

 seen by the writer from Palawan, the others being quoted on the 

 authority of Dohrn. A study of the new forms discovered by 

 Mr. Everett does not appear to affect Mr. Cooke's comment upon 

 the relationship of this island-fauna, namely, that " Palawan 

 affords a link between the Philippines and the Indo- Malay 

 islands, without being very markedly allied with either group."
