Mammals of the Kelabit Plateau, northern Sarawak

Abstract

Between September, 1945, and December, 1949, Mr. Tom Harrisson, now Curator of the Sarawak Museum, made a collection of mammals on the Kelabit Plateau in northeastern Sarawak. Knowledge of Bornean mammals has hitherto been based almost entirely on material from the coastal regions of the island. The present collection is the first comprehensive collection made in the interior and therefore is of considerable interest. It is also from the transitional region separating the Baram fauna , which tends to be quite distinctive, at the subspecific level, from the North Bornean fauna.
