Miller, jr., in 1901 and in 1906. x More recently Doctor Abbott has visited the mainland of Borneo five times, on each occasion stopping at some of the adjacent islands. An account of the mammals collected on the first trip to the mainland, covering the Kapuas River region, was published by me in 1907. 2 The present paper aims to give an account of the mammals obtained on the remaining four expeditions-two to southwestern Borneo and two to southeastern Borneo-as well as those collected in the nearby islands. For the sake of completeness, I have included in the present paper the species collected in the Kapuas River region, as well as those from Karimata Islands, the latter having been visited a second time. Four short papers 3 have appeared recently which i
