Bats. 
I must not forget the Bat tribe. These nocturnal birds or winged-rats are 
most destructive to fruits, and are very numerous in the Straits, living more 
abundantly on the Johor side, whence clouds of them may be seen in the evening 
proceeding towards Singapore. 
Figs. 
The Hog tribe, too, do incalculable mischief. There is, perhaps, no country 
in the world, in which, looking at the size of the place, so many of these animals 
are to be found as in this Colony ; every little jungle swarms with them. They eat 
everything, but show a decided preference for acorns, which fall in great plenty from 
the numerous varieties of oaks (Querous) with which the forests abound. The 
Malays name these nuts u Barangan Fdbi,” or pigs’ nuts.

destroy the hark, hut deer are not sufficiently numerous on the island to be reckoned 
among forest exterminators.
