are called fuyok, a term said to be of Sumatran ori- 
in. 
On the North and East there are large herds of wild cattle 
said to belong to two species, Gos Banteng and Bos Gaurus 
or Bos Sondatcus. In the vicinity of Kudat they afford 
excellent sport, a description of which has been given, ina 
number of the “Borneo Herald,” by Resident G. L. DAVIES, 
who, in addition to being a skilful manager of the aborigines, 
is a keen sportsman. The native name for them on the East 
Coast is Lissang or Seladang, and on the North, 7ambadau. 
In some districts the water buffalo, Bubalus Buffelus, has run 
wild and affords sport. 
The deer are of three kinds—the Rusa or Sambur (Rusa 
Mastonelis tne Kijane or roe, and the Plandor, or 
mousedeer, the latter. a delicately shaped little animal, smaller 
and lighter than the European hare. With the natives it is 
an emblem of cunning, and there are many short stories 
illustrating its supposed more than human intelligence. Wild 
pig, the Sus darbatus, a kind distinct from the Indian animal, 
and, I should say, less ferocious, is a pest all over Borneo, 
breaking down fences and destroying crops. The jungle is 
too universal and too thick to allow of pig-sticking from horse- 
back, but good sport can be had, with a spear, on foot, if a 
good pack of native dogs is got together. 
It is on the East Coast only that elephants and rhinoce- 
ros, called Gajzah and Ladak respectively, are found. The 
elephant is the same as the Indian one and is fairly abundant ; 
the rhinoceros is Rhinoceros sumatranus, and is not so 
frequently met with. 
The elephant in Borneo is a timid animal and, therefore, 
difficult to come up with in the thick jungle. None have been 
shot by Europeans so far, but the natives, who can walk 
through the forest so much more quietly, sometimes shoot 
them, and dead tusks are also often brought in for sale. 
The natives in the East Coast are very few in numbers and 
on neither coast is there any tribe of professional hunters, or 
shtkaris, as in India and Ceylon, so that, although game 
abounds, there are not, at present, such facilities for Euro-
