Towards the end of 1914 I went on short leave to Siam with 

 three Dyak assistants, my object being zoological collecting 

 in the extreme south-east of the country, and having reached 

 Chantabun by steamer via Bangkok, I hired a small native 

 sailing-vessel (" rua pet ") and passed six weeks cruising and 

 camping on the coa.st and islands beyond (see PI. I.), getting in 

 altogether about thirty-three working days. The result was 

 a set of rather over 500 mammals, 300 birds, and 250 reptiles 

 and bati-achians. 



Mammals were the principal object of the excursion, and I 

 chose this district of the mainland because very little investigation 

 of it had taken place, while the islands were quite untouched ; 

 for although Captain Stanley Flower appears to have been in 

 Chantabun in 1898 (P. Z. S. 1900), no other naturalist has 

 followed Monhot, whose collections wei'e i-eported on by Gray 

 and Glinther in the ' Proceedings' of 1859 and 1861. 



In recent years Mr. T. H. Lyle has sent home specimens
