(2) MUS DECUMANUS, typ. 



This is the pest of the atoll, and does incalculable damage 

 to the coconut plantations. 



(3) MuS RATTUS, typ. 



Is common on Pulu Gangsa and some of the small southern 

 islets, and I have had one specimen from Pulu Selma, where 

 it is not nearly so common as M. decumanus. 



(4) Mus MUSCULUS, Linn., is not uncommon on Pulu Tikus. 



A herd of feral deer lived for long in Pulu Luar. The 

 animals were introduced from Java and from Singapore, and 

 consisted of two species, the Sambar (Cervus hippelajohus) and the 

 Kedang {Cervus muntjac). All were dead when I left the islands 

 in 1906. 



Waifs and strays include bats of some small species which 

 did not appear during my stay in the atoll, and which are said 

 to be the Fipistrelhcs mtirrayi, Andrews, from Christmas Island.
