This very peculiar squirrel is so entirely unlike any known species that I do 

 not know with what to compare it. Its pale creamy-buff colour and whitish 

 tail are quite unique, while no other Oriental squirrel of its size is without the 

 small upper premolar. This latter character also indicates that Sciurus 

 Haringtoni is not merely a partially albinistic variation of some known species, 

 an explanation which its pale colour might at first sight suggest. 



Captain Harington is to be congratulated on the discovery of so striking 

 a new form.
