Title	The ghost-animal (tarsius-tarsius). (see rear [=annotations] for explanation].
Type of title	translation
Original caption	Gespenstertier (Tarsius-tarsius). (Erklärung cf. Rückseite [=annotations]).
Description	Annotation translation: "Inikr, the ghost-animal (Tarsius-tarsius, oder Koboldanki). It is an animal which is active at night. Not many dayaks have seen one. It is only rarely that you can observe one in nature. It is about the size of a rat, and its food consists of creeping animals and wasp lavae. It sits in front of a wasps' nest, catches wasps one after the other, and in the end pulls the larvae out of the nest. One remarkable thing is that it can turn its head completey round."; Annotation: "Inikr, das Gespenstertier (Tarsius-tarsius, oder Koboldanki). Es ist ein Nachtier, nicht viele Dajak haben es schon gesehen, sehr selten kann man es im Freien beobachten. Es hat etwa die Grösse einer Ratte, seine Nahrung besteht aus Kriechtieren & Wespenbrut. Es setzt sich vor ein Wespenhaus, fängt eine Wespe nach der andern ab & holt dann zum Schluss die junge Brut aus dem Nest. Eine Merkwürdigkeit ist, dass es den Kopf einmal ganz herum drehen kann."; Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
