Rattus mindanensis is a rat common in the Phillippine Islands. The northern limit of the range of the species has been known to be the Babuyanes Islands. One of the authors, KANO obtained two specimens of the rat from Botel-Tobago in his exploration of the island carried out in 1937. The specimens were studies by TOKUDA and has been ascertained as belonging to the named species. This rat seems to be endemic to the locality, since the islanders believe it to be a native rat, calling it by a name of "Karamrirara" to distinguish it from "Karam-riraol" of the cosmopolitan rats. If the rat is really endemic to the island, the occurrence of the species in Botel-Tobago will bear an important significance to the paleogeography of this and neighbouring islands, favouring KANO's view of the comparative recency of the hypothetical land-bridge between Luzon and Botel-Tobago through Babuyanes and Batanes, since this rat of Botel-Tobago is scarecely diverged from the form of the Philippine Islands.

After an exhaustive study of the languages of the two islands, morphologically, phonetically, and gramatically, Prof, E. ASAI published, in 1936, a paper entitled " A Study of the Yami Language : An Indonesian Language spoken on Tobago Island (Leiden), " in which he strongly put forward the opinion that the languages of the Batanes Island and Kotosho are almost the same rather than being merely akin to each other. The present writer compared 131 names of animals and plants used by the natives of these two islands and was struck with the marked similarities among them, thus confirming Prof. ASAI'S opinion.In the language spoken by the Batanes at present, not a few of the words suggest a Spanish derivation, which is only natural, seeing that the island had long belonged to Spain. In the Yami language, on the contrary, excepting two instances, we can hardly find a word of Spanish origin.Of the exceptions, one is vaka, the Spanish ox, and the other paluk, from Spanish pale. The Yami Word paluk means water sprinkled with some grains of millet. Before, launching a new boat, the Yami perform a ceremony called the mipaluk, in which each prospective member of the crew of the boat surrounds the boat, and smears its gunwale with the paluk from a pot, this paluk being a charm for the future success of the new boat. The Yami, curiously, have no wine of any kind, although the writer has reasons for believing that they drank some sort of wine in former times, just like all the other tribes of Formosa, which habit, however, has since been discarded. As a matter of fact, the Batanes islanders obtain from the sugar-cane a wine called the Bashi, or palek, which is clearly a derivation from the Spanish pale. According to Yami legend, the close intercourse that existed long ago between the Batanes Island and Kotosho, was broken off eleven generations ago, namely 275 years ago (a generation being 25 years), at which time Spanish ships appeared on the seas adjacent to the Philippines.These two words of Spanish origin in the vocabulary of the Yami, show that the Kotosho language was slightly influenced by Spanish via the Batanes Isiand. Yami legends also support this 'chronologically. From these considerations the writer believes that communication existed between the Batanes Island and Kotosho about the middle of the seventeenth century.These two words of Spanish origin in the vocabulary of the Yami, show that the Kotosho language was slightly influenced by Spanish via the Batanes Isiand.
