Stebbins, R. 1963 Ascain Trip Kuala Lumpur Feb. 6 Medway talked about various aspects of the natural history of the area. These follow snatches from memory. Tiggers have come to his yard or 3 occasions. One time his native woman servant was so frightened she dropped her child and ran and then was embarrassed afterward. Tiggers are attracted to the fruit of the durian tree. Several of these tall trees occur on Medway's property. The leaves are dark green and the tree may be over 100 ft. high. The fruits have a strong, spiny covering, are about 1 ft. in diameter and have a sweet smell. The tigers are said to eat them, and the aborigines are on edge during the fruiting season. Tiggers kill about 10 gnomina a year. There are not many around Medway's place because game is scarce. An adult or a kitten are known to be present from tracks. The rhino in Sumatra can be written off Medway thinks. An adult is worth $10,000 U.S.- hide, horn (as an aphrodisiac), meat. A poacher was fined $300 for killing one. He was still well ahead. There are perhaps 60 left in Malaya. The Slim River area is the best place to see them. Cobras, pitvipers and look-fanged snakes are poisonous species here. Medway says there are no boas.
