__ By far the commonest squirrel on the mountain and not 
differing in any way from lowland animals: in no way 
approaching our recently described S. ¢. gunong from the 
Bandon hills [ Journ. F.M.S. Mus., V. p. 119 (1914).] 
3. EPIMYS VOCIFERANS. 
Mus vociferans, Miller, Proc. Biol. Soc., Washington, xiii. 
p. 198 (1900), pls iti and iv, fig. 3. 
2 Females. 
Only two examples of this generally common hill rat were 
trapped.

Mus surifer, Miller, Proc. Biol. Soc., Washington, xiii, p. 
148 (1900), pl. v, fig. 4, a, b, c. 
2 Males, 2 Females. 
Four examples of this, the commonest spiny rat in the 
Peninsula, were obtained: the pelage of all is somewhat pale 
and dull.

This little rat has always been found sparsely distributed 
in the mountains of the Peninsula and only two individuals 
were obtained on the present occasion. 
6. EPIMYS ASPER. 
Mus asper, Miller, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, xiii, p. 
AE LOOO) Pleavatiee3, a, b,c: 
22 Males, 8 Females. 
This species was extremely common. It was found, here 
as elsewhere, to vary considerably in brightness of colcuration, 
the yellow tone of the upper surface ranging from bright 
ochraceous-tawny to pale clay. The grey under surface is 
sometimes suffused with ochraceous but this feature is in no 
way correlated with a brighter back.

3 Males, 2 Females. 
These are representatives of the common rattus of the 
Malay subregion and though we have used for it the name 
applied by Bonhote we doubt, when large series of Malayan 
and Bornean animals are compared, that it will be considered 
in any way distinct from the subspecies neglectus of that 
island,
