Java: l>uitenzorg; a nearly fnllgrown female and two young males 
(609, 595, 596). 
The young specimens 595 and 596 are tailless: Prof. Weber ob- 
serves that in conttnement they have swallowed one another the tails. 
Hylomijs. 
Hylomys suillus S. Müller. 
Sumatra: Manindjau; skin: cf ad. (181). 
Java : Papendajan near Garut ; skull with skin and fore legs (7). 
I purchased from Mr. John Whitehead one of the specimens from 
the Kina-Balu, North Borneo, called by Oldfield Thomas Hylomys 
suillus dorsalis. I afterwards compared that specimen with the type- 
specimen of Hylomys suillus S. Müller in our Museum and its skull 
with the same part of H. suillus and as there are no differences in 
the skulls nor in dentition, the only difference being a more or less 
distinct sometimes faint (0. Thomas) black line running from between 
the eyes down the neck to the middle of the back, I subscribe what 
Oldûeld Thomas stated (P. Z. S. L. 1889, p. 229), namely: „that I 
believe it to be not worthy of separation from the true Hylomys suillus." 
Pachyura. 
Packyura indica Geoffroy. 
Java: Buitenzorg; adult males and females (220, 221, 222, 223, 
224, 225). 
Grocidura. 
Crocidura weberi n. sp. 
Sumatra: Singkarah; one adult specimen (8). 
Although in color very difficult to distinguish from the following 
species, it represents a quite different form with relatively shorter 
tail and much shorter fnr. 
Hairs of upperparts black with the extremity of each hair finely 
tipped with brownish , underparts of the same color as the upperparts, 
but each hair has a broader brownish tip. Tail with very short black 
hairs, base of tail with a few longer black hairs. 
Upper jaw: Second unicuspidate about three quarters of the height 
of the anterior hook of the first incisor; posterior hook of the first 
incisor as high as the fourth unicuspidate; third unicuspidate about 
two third of the fourth one.
