40 ZOOLOGY OE THE VOYAGE OE H.M.S. SAMARANG. 



IV. CHINA, 



We are chiefly indebted to Mr. Reeves and his son, Mr. John Russell Reeves, for the 

 knowledge of the animals of Canton and its neighbourhood, and this is almost the only part 

 of China from whence Mammalia have been sent to England. 



It must be observed that Japanese species are often to be procured at Canton, and that 

 some of them have been mistaken for inhabitants of China.
