By Oldfield Thomas. [Eeceived February 20, 1892.] (Plates XVIII. & XIX.). In 1889 I had the honour of presenting to the Society a paper on the Mammals of Mount Kina Balu, the highest mountain in Northern Borneo, and one previously quite unexplored zoologically. Thanks to the energy of Mr. Charles Hose, a gentleman who has already distinguished himself by his discoveries in the district of Baram, N.E. Sarawak, I am enabled now to give an account of some Mammals collected on Mount Dulit, a mountain about 9000 feet in altitude, standing at the head of the Baram River. In the autumn of last year Mr. Hose made a successful expedition up Mount Dulit, collecting a large number of specimens at altitudes of from 2000 to 5000 feet, and thereby affording us a very good idea of the fauna of the mountain. On the whole, judging from the present collection, it may be said that the Mammal-fauna of Dulit is very much the same as that of Kina Balu, there being no instance of a representative but different species \ while two of the peculiar Kina Balu species reappear here on Dulit. In all probabiUty, therefore, we may look upon Mr. Hose's valuable collection as supplementary to that of Mr. Whitehead, and may expect that in time most of the members of both the collections will he found to occur on both the mountains. This is the more likely as the collections were made at very diflFerent seasons of the year, when different forms of animal life would be en evidence. Thus Mr. Hose's collection is especially rich in Tupaice, of which two are new, while Mr. Whitehead's was equally rich in Rats, Mice, and ^ In the case of the birds, however, Calyptomena hosei, Sharpe, represents C. whiteheadi, Sharpe, and Harpactes dtditensis, Grant, represents H. oreskios, the latter occurring in Malacca, Sumatra, and Java as well as on Mt. Kina Balu. Proc. Zool. Soc— 1S92, No. XVI. 16
