134 Journal of the F.M.S. Museums. [Wore Valle 
(Holothuria spp.) which is extraordinarily abundant in the 
sandy bays in from three to five fathoms. 
Besides the species of mammals actually obtained the kra 
monkey, Macaca irus, is fairly common, while Seimund 
came across a large specimen of Felis temmincki, feeding on a 
big hawk. Our orang laut pilot showed us a cranny in the 
rocks in which this “‘rimau” regularly bred. Tracks of otter 
were also noted in abundance. 
Birds were more numerous than on most of the other 
smaller islands visited by us, especially green pigeon and the 
very handsome woodpigeon, Columba punicea. 
KoH KapANn or PuLau Papan. A long, narrow island, 
about two miles long by a quarter to half a mile broad, about 
eight miles WNW. of the northern end of Pulau Telibun and 
about five miles SW. of Pulau Muntia. The island is wooded, 
about 200 feet high, with a sandy beach on the eastern side but 
steep-to on the western, with a long reef extending for four or 
five miles from its southern extremity. We spent one night 
only there 7-8th January 1917, and found nothing of any 
interest, the only mammal being a race of Epimys rattus and 
the only land birds, Crows and Koels (Eudynamis malayana). 
Kou Kyan or Purau Nior, S’TaLti and Kou NGali or 
Putau Kupa. Two precipitous limestone islets about five 
miles due north of Pulau Papan and about four miles west of 
Pulau Muntia. They are thin clothed with vegetation, the 
trees being largely species of Ficus and other epiphytic forms 
and at certain times of the year are said to be frequented by 
myriads of White Imperial Pigeon (Myrtsticivera bicolor) though 
at the time of our visit in January the only lana birds on them 
were swallows (Hirundo javanica) and species of Collocalia and 
Cypselus. Pulau Kuda however was inhabited by enormous 
numbers of a small species of Ptevopus which hung in clusters 
to the cracks in the vertical cliffs and to the branches of the 
small stunted trees growing therefrom. 
PuLau Lonrar. A large island about sixteen miles long 
by four miles wide, situate between latitude 7° 29’ and 7° 44’ 
N. and Longitude 99° 2’ and gg° 7’ E. On the western side 
it is steep to, but on the east there are plains of considerable 
extent. In the middle it is divided by a shallow strait broadly 
bordered with mangrove. In the centre the land rises to a 
considerable altitude, certainly over a thousand feet, and is 
covered with jungle, which however has been much cut out for 
temporary cultivations. 
The populationis considerable, mainly Samsams?.e.of mixed 
Malay-Siamese stock with a strong infusion of orang laut. We 
spent a few days anchored off the principal village, a place of 
some size with numerous Chinese shops, known as Pasir 
Raja. The coast however in this vicinity is fronted by a broad 
bank of very soft mud which is onlv passable at half tide by 
small boats, though a jetty some three hundred yards in 
length traverses part of it.
