curious Siamang (uext to them in size) in Sumatra aud 

 Malacca ; the long-nosed, monkey only in Borneo ; while 

 every island has representatives of the Gibbons or long-

 also into Sumatra, four into Borneo, and three into Java ;

 few are absolutely identical. 



Of Carnivora, thirty-three species are known from the 

 Indo-Malay region, of which about eight are found also

 about seven extend into Burmah and India. All the deer
