These traps consisted of two rows of substantial uprig-ht 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. 107, were frequently 
seen on Kina Balu, and most of our mammals were obtained with 
them. The only mammal we saw in anything like numbers was 
the bat Cynopterus lucasi which made its appearance generally late 
in the afternoon at our upper camp, 4,200.' The following is a
