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 "te the place, so many of these animals 
are to be found as in this Colorv • every little jungle swarms with them. They eat 
everything, but show a dec^ 1 - reference for acorns, which fall in great plenty from 
the numerous varieties of ^ks (Querous) with which the forests abound. The 
Malays name these nuts u Barangan Bdbi or pigs’ nuts. 
Deer. 
Local Name. Zoological Name. 
Busa . . . Busa Tunjuc ... Common Java Deer. 
Sambur ... Sainbulo rufus ... Of large size. 
Kangil or Plandok ... Moschus Javanicus ... The Napu Musk Deer. 
The two first named do much harm to young trees at the season when they 
shed their horns, to get rid of which they rub them against stout saplings and 
destroy the bark, but deer are not sufficiently numerous on the island to be reckoned 
among forest exterminators.
