Also received by BM in September 1856 was the skull of a sun bear Ursus (Helarctos) malayanus shipped from Sadong on 21 July 1855 (Cranbrook et al. 2005, Table 4), possibly the “scull” marked private in the Species Registry. A couple of months later the BM obtained the first of ARW’s orang-utan specimens. His notebooks show that the pickled skins of orang-utans, together with the dried skeletons, were shipped from Sarawak to Samuel Stevens in several consignments, as expeditiously as possible, and promptly sold.
Saunders, presumably having been ‘private’ specimens retained by Stevens. The description of 14 new species among this collection was Reg. no. 5, ♂, skin and skull. The skull of the latter specimen, which is a juvenile, has been halved by a longitudinal cut. 45 Among the mammals, the flying squirrel is still mounted, and the condition of some other skins suggest that they have been dismounted. Further research is needed to clarify the matter. J. R.
