race, characteristic at least of Mount Kina Bala, if not of the whole of Borneo, whence, up to the 
present, no other specimens have been obtained. It should he stated, however, that Dr. F. A. Jentink, 
of the Leyden Museum, where the type of H. suillus is preserved, believes it to be not worthy of 
separation from that animal; but as he is inclined to give, in certain other allied groups, rather less 
importance to the presence or absence of a dorsal streak than appears to me correct, I do not as yet feel 
disposed definitely to withdraw the merely varietal name already given to the Kina Balu Hylomys. 
The true Hylomys suillus has been recorded from Burma, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Java.

The occurrence of this fine Water-Shrew on Mount Kina Balu is a most interesting fact, and affords 
a remarkable instance of the relation that the fauna of the mountainous regions of the Malay islands 
bears to that of the Himalayas. The species has previously only been recorded from Sikhim, Assam, 
and the Katchin Hills in the North of Burma. The Bornean specimen is rather smaller than the type, 
its hind foot measuring only 20 millim. in length as against 22*5, but is otherwise identical ; this 
difference in size is very probably only sexual.

a-c . 1000 feet. 1887 and 1888. 
In the present state of our knowledge I am unable to name these Shrews with certainty. They are 
allied to, but markedly larger than, C. fuliginosa , Blyth.

a. $ . 3000 feet. 14/2/87. Type. 
b. 3000 feet. 14/2/87. 
Native name “ Tigae.” 
Size about equal to that of S. tenuis , Horsf. General colour of upper surface yellowish grey, 
strongly suffused with orange on the head and along the centre of the back. Hairs dark slaty grey for 
four-fifths of their length; their tips yellow or orange. Face grey, but with a white rim round each eye. 
Ears extremely short, rounded, their edges white or pale yellow, and standing out in marked contrast 
against a patch of wholly black hairs situated just behind them on the sides of the neck. Hairs of chin, 
chest, and belly slaty grey basally, dull yellowish white distally ; line of demarcation on sides quite 
gradual. Limbs coloured as in S. tenuis ; hind soles hairy for their proximal 8 millim. Tail slender, 
the hairs being comparatively short, only about 10 or 12 millim. in length ; these hairs are broadly 
ringed with orange basally, and have a black subterminal and a white terminal band. 
Incisors dark yellow above and below ; premolars f ; molars rather smaller and lighter than those 
of S. tenuis. 
Dimensions of specimen a, a female, preserved in skin :— 
Head and body 140 millim.; tail, without hairs 103, with hairs 136 ; hind foot 32‘5 ; ear, above 
crown 4*0. 
Skull: tip of nasals to bregma 25 ; greatest breadth 20 ; length of nasals 9‘5 ; interorbital breadth
