MUS RAJAH Thomas.

1894. Mus hellwaldi Thomas and Hartert, Novitates Zoologicæ, I, p. 658. September, 1894 (Bunguran).

1894. Mus rajah Thomas, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 6th ser., XIV, p. 451. December, 1894 (Mount Batu Song, Borneo).

1895. Mus rajah Thomas, Novitates Zoologicæ, II, p. 26. February, 1895 (Revised determination of Bunguran specimens).

Six specimens (one in alcohol) from Bunguran, two from Pulo Lingung, one from Pulo Laut, four (one in alcohol) from Sirhassen, and one (in alcohol) from Pulo Midei. It is doubtful whether these series are referable to one species or whether any of them are the true Bornean Mus rajah. The material is not wholly satisfactory, and I have been unable to examine specimens from Borneo.
