Some Bats and Mice of the Malay Archipelago

I have been entrusted by Dr. K. W. DAMMERMAN, Director of the Zoological Museum at Buitenzorg, with a collection of Bandicoot-rats (Dutch: borstelrat, Malay: wirok) from Netherlands India for determination. Two species are represented: a large one the wellknown Bandicota setifera, and a smaller which is new and has not hitherto been recorded from the Malaysian Islands, Unfortunately the specimens are unaccompanied by measurements and have been either mounted or skinned from alcohol so that the colours must be accepted with a little reserve.
