Mammals Collected by Dr. W. L. Abbott on the Natuna Islands: Proceedings of the Washington Academy of Sciences, Vol. III, pp. 111-138
Miller, Gerrit S. (Gerrit Smith)
Abbott, William Louis, 1860-1936; Mammals -- Indonesia -- Natuna Islands
Eight (one in alcohol) from Sirhassen and seven (one in alcohol) Pulo
Laut. It is highly probable that these specimens represent a species
distinct from the true _Pteropus hypomelanus_ of Ternate.
NYCTICEBUS TARDIGRADUS (Linnæus).
1894. _Nycticebus tardigradus_ THOMAS and HARTERT, Novitates
Zoologicæ, I, p. 655. September, 1894 (Bunguran).
1895. _Nycticebus tardigradus_ THOMAS and HARTERT, Novitates
Zoologicæ, II, p. 489 (Bunguran).
One specimen from Bunguran.
MACACUS 'CYNOMOLGUS' Auct.
1894. _Macacus cynomolgus_ THOMAS and HARTERT, Novitates

Zoologicæ, II, p. 489. December, 1895 (Bunguran).
A specimen from each of the following islands: Sirhassen, Pulo
Lingung and Pulo Laut.
SEMNOPITHECUS CRISTATUS (Raffles).
Two monkeys from Sirhassen appear to be referable to this species.
SEMNOPITHECUS NATUNÆ Thomas and Hartert.
1894. _Semnopithecus natunæ_ THOMAS and HARTERT, Novitates
Zoologicæ, I, p. 652. September, 1894 (Bunguran).

[3] Gray's "Notice of a species of Tupaia from Borneo, in the
collection of the British Museum" in the Proceedings of the
Zoological Society of London for 1865 (p. 322) may be added to the
bibliography of Natuna mammals, as the animal described, though
supposed to have been taken in Borneo, is apparently confined to
Bunguran Island, the largest of the Natunas.
