62 Zoology. 



Whitehead (John). [1894] 



69 Mammals from Mount Kina-Balu, North Borneo — presented by 

 Oldfield Thomas — and 62 from the Island of Luzon, Philippines — presented 

 by the subscribers to the Whitehead Fund. 



Mr. Whitehead was one of the most successful collectors in the East 

 Indian Archipelago, and was the first to make zoological explorations on 

 Mount Kina-Balu and on the Data range in Luzon. At both localities he 

 found a large number of new forms, and at the latter especially many 

 remarkable animals were discovered, no less than eight representing new 

 genera. The most notable are Marpyionycteris whiteheadi, Rhynchomys 

 soricoides, Carpomys melanurus and C. phxurus, Chrotomys whiteheadi, 

 and Batomys granti. (See Proc. Zool. Soc, 1889, p. 228, and Trans. Zool. 

 Soc, xiv., p. 377, 1898.)

 gentleman (q.v.).

 Also some specimens from Uganda. Presented.

Wolffsohn (J. A.). [1897] 



273 Mammals from the neighbourhood of Valparaiso. Presented. 



The series of Mammals collected and presented by Mr. J. A. Wolffsohn 

 is one of particular value owing to its containing topotypical examples of 

 the many species described by early writers on Chilian Zoology. The 

 specimens have been of constant service in working out the Mammals 

 obtained by Messrs. Simons, Dinelli, Foster, and other recent collectors.
