Thtroduviorji reiiutrl-s : The first part of this paper, contain- 
ing' the narrative of the expedition to Kina Balu, is based upon 
diary notes written during the journey and is practically the 
report which I sent in to the Committee of the Kallles Museum 
on April 27th of last year. The second part, containing the 
scientific results, could only be compiled after considerable 
delay ; most of the zoological specimens obtained during the ex- 
pedition had to be sent for identilication to specialists at home 
and elsewhere, viz., Messrs. G. A. Boulenger, Edg'ar Smith, L. de 
Niceville, R. Shelford, 1). Sharp and lu A. liorradaile, and I take 
this opportunity of thanking them for their assistance. Two 
papers by Mr. Boulenger, the one containing the description of 
a new Freshwater Fish (A. M. N. H., Ser. 7, Yol. IV., pp. 228- 
229) and the other that of three new Reptiles and a new Batra- 
chian (ibid. pp. 451-454), and a papr by Mr. Borradaile on 
Freshwater Crustacea, one of which is new (P. Z. S., 1900, part 
I, 2 i^p.) are reprinted. 
The Government of this Colony had kindly furnished me 
with credentials to the British North Ihwneo Government, and 
my thanks are due to the officials there, chiefly Mr. II. M. Little, 
Rkident of Labuan, and Mr. H. S. Haynes, Magistrate, Pro- 
vince Keppel, wlio made all arrangements for carriers and who 
otherwise assisted me in every possible way.
