Squirrel, tupei; usually small and dark-coloured.

Teleggo, stinkard.

TIGER.

Tiger, arimau, machang:  this beast is here of a very large size, and proves a destructive foe to man as well as to most other animals.  The heads being frequently brought in to receive the reward given by the East India Company for killing them, I had an opportunity of measuring one, which was eighteen inches across the forehead.  Many circumstances respecting their ravages, and the modes of destroying them, will occur in the course of the work.

Tiger-cat, kuching-rimau (said to feed on vegetables as well as flesh).

Civet-cat, tanggalong (Viverra civetta):  the natives take the civet, as they require it for use, from a peculiar receptacle under the tail of the animal.  It appears from the Ayin Akbari (Volume 1 page 103) that the civet used at Delhi was imported from Achin.

Hedgehog (erinaceus) landak.

PENG-GOLING.

Peng-goling, signifying the animal which rolls itself up; or pangolin of Buffon:  this is distinguished into the peng-goling rambut, or hairy sort (myrmophaga), and the peng-goling sisik, or scaly sort, called more properly tanggiling (species of manis); the scales of this are esteemed by the natives for their medicinal properties.  See Asiatic Researches Volume 1 page 376 and Volume 2 page 353.

BATS.

Of the bat kind there is an extraordinary variety:  the churi-churi is the smallest species, called vulgarly burong tikus, or the mouse-bird; next to these is the kalalawar; then the kalambit; and the kaluwang (noctilio) is of considerable size; of these I have observed very large flights occasionally passing at a great height in the air, as if migrating from one country to another, and Captain Forrest notices their crossing the Straits of Sunda from Java Head to Mount Pugong; they are also seen hanging by hundreds upon trees.  The flying-foxes and flying-squirrels (Lemur volans), which by means of a membrane extending from what may be termed the forelegs to those behind, are enabled to take short flights, are also not uncommon.
