AN EXPEDITION TO MOUNT KINA BALU. 69 



These traps consisted of two rows of substantial upright poles 

 rammed into the ground and converging at one end, the other 

 end being open and continuous with the jungle path, so that the 

 animal once entered would jam itself between the poles at the 

 far end of the traps. Traps for small mammals, as figured by 

 Burbidge (4), p. 87, and Whitehead (10), p. 167, were frequently 

 seen on Kina Balu, and most of our mammals were obtained with
