Descriptions of East Asiatic Mammals 229 
phayrei and C. pygerythrus, each with a northern and a south- 
ern race. 
The Striped Tree Squirrels, Tamiops, made by Ellerman 
a subgenus of Callosciurus but regarded by Zahn as close rela- 
tives of the Indian Palm Squirrels, Fimambulus, resemble Chip- 
munks in their striped color pattern of pale and black stripes, 
but they have no stripes on the face. The ears are slightly tufted 
with white. The tail is slender, thinly haired, and rather short. 
The female has 6 pairs of mammae. The typical species is T. 
macclellandi of Assam. Unlike Chipmunks, these Squirrels are 
seldom on the ground. 
McClelland's Striped Tree Squirrel, T. macclellandi of 
which several species and many races are known, is yellowish 
brown above, with three black dorsal lines extending from the 
nape to the root of the tail, separated by paler stripes. The lat- 
eral dark stripes are margined outwardly by yellowish stripes 
that start from the nose and pass beneath the eye and ear to the 
tail. The underparts are yellowish gray. The length of the head 
and body is 5% inches, of the tail 3% inches. 
From Manipur comes the race T. m. manipurensis. Two more 
races just reach southwestern China : T. m. barbel, which enters 
southwestern Yunnan from northern Burma, and T. m. incon^ 
stans, found along the southeast border of Yunnan with Indo- 
China. The race T. m. kongensis is found in southwest Laos, 
T. m. dolphioides in Cambodia, T. m. rodolphi in Cochin-China, 
and T. m. leucotis in the Malay Peninsula. Tamiops monticolus 
from Fukien and T. m. olivaceus from Tonkin, at 8000 to 
10,000 feet, are treated by Osgood as a single full species. 
The Chinese Striped Tree Squirrel, Tamiops swinhoei, 
characteristic of southern China, is found in Szechwan and Yun- 
nan. Tamiops s. clarkei occurs in the Yangtse Valley and north- 
ern Yunnan. Races from eastern China include the denser- furred 
T. s. vestitus of Hopei and Kansu, the grayish T. maritimus of 
Fukien, T. m. hainanns from the island of Hainan, and T. m.
