THIS animal agrees v^rith the fquirrel in its 

 food, refidence, and fome of its adtions: on 

 firft fight it bears a general refemblance to it; but 

 on a clofer infpedion, fuch a diff^erence may be 

 difcovered in its feveral parts, as vindicates M. Brif- 

 fon for forming a diftind genus of the Dormice, 

 or Glires. Thefe want the fifth claw on the in- 

 |:erior fide of their fore-feet; nor are their ears 

 adorned with thole elegant tufts of hair that diftin- 

 guifh the fquirrel kind. Thefe difiindlions prevale 

 in the other fpecies, fuch as the Lerot and Loir.
