The mammals described in the present paper and those in a suc- 
ceeding paper by Dr. Jentink, form part of my zoological collections 
made in Sumatra, Java, Flores, Celebes and Saleyer. 
As already stated in the preface I never neglected during m)^ 
journey to collect mammals. 
In Flores, Saleyer and Celebes I tried to secure as full a collection 
of them as possible. In Sumatra and Java however I could not attach 
very much importance in the collecting of mammals as I could spend 
only a certain amount of time in searching for them and principally 
for the purpose of getting good material for further anatomical in- 
vestigations. For these different reasons the collection brought home 
is not an extensive one. Nevertheless and even if a large amount of 
the Mammalia collected is very weU known, I believe it is worth 
while to give a complete list. In the first place to have an opportu- 
nity for some more or less extensive remarks and observations about 
the mammals in question. In the second place I can give authentic 
statements of the occurrence of them in different locahties , a point of 
much interest in these days, that needs extreme , accuracy. 
In this way the Island Flores is of special interest, as there was 
hitherto no indication about the mammals living there. Also the sou- 
thern part of Celebes was — zoologically speaking — a terra incognita.
