Abstract
MY friend Mr. Richard Evans, of Jesus College, Oxford, now in the Malay Peninsula with the Skeat Expedition sent out by the University of Cambridge, writes to me that he and subsequently other members of the expedition have discovered Peripatus. His letter, written from Aring, Kalantan, and dated August 27, states that he had found two specimens about three months previously. The locality is given as “one of the mountains here.” For some months after this discovery no further specimens were found, in spite of much searching. A little before the date of his letter, however, Mr. Laidlaw, of Cambridge, had found five and Mr. Evans six additional specimens, thus bringing up the number to thirteen.
