Java: Buitenzorg; a nearly fullgrown female and two yonng males 



(609, 595, 596). 

 The young specimens 595 and 596 are tailless: Prof. Weber ob- 

 serves that in confinement they have swallowed one another the tails. 



Hylomys. 



Hylomys suülus S. Müller. 



Sumatra: Manindjau; skin: cf 1 ad. (181). 



Java : Papendajan near Garnt ; skull with skin and fore legs (7). 



I purchased from Mr. John Whitehead one of the specimens froni 

 the Kina-Balu, North Borneo, calied by Oldfleld Thomas Hylomys 

 suülus dorsalis. I afterwards compared that specimen with the type- 

 specimen of Hylomys suülus S. Müller in our Museum and its skull 

 with the same part of H. suülus and as there are no differences in 

 the skulls nor in dentition, the only difference being a more or less 

 distinct sometimes faint (0. Thomas) black line running from between 

 the eyes down the neck to the middle of the back, I subscribe what 

 Oldfleld Thomas stated (P. Z. S. L. 1889, p. 229), namely: „that I 

 believe it to be not worthy of Separation from the tms Hylomys suülus." 



Pachyura. 



Pachyura indica Geoffroy. 



Java: Buitenzorg; adult males and females (220, 221, 222, 223, 

 224, 225). 



Crocidura. 

 Crocidura weberi n. sp. 



Sumatra: Singkarah; one adult specimen (8). 



Although in color very difücult to distinguish from the following 

 species, it represents a quite different form with relatively shorter 

 tail and rauch shorter für. 



Hairs of upperparts black with the extremity of each hair fmely 

 tipped with brownish , underparts of the same color as the upperparts, 

 but each hair has a broader brownish tip. Tail with very short black 

 hairs, base of tail with a few longer black hairs. 



Upper jaw. Second unicuspidate about three quarters of the height 

 of the anterior hook of the first incisor; posterior hook of the first 

 incisor as high as the fourth unicuspidate; third unicuspidate about 

 two third of the fourth one.
