aud below tlie ears there is a white patcli. A black sub- 

 lateral stripe is always present. 



Skull measurements of a male specimen: Greatest

Apparently very common at Teluk Anson and its neigh- 

 bourhood. According to the statement of Mr. Adelborg 

 this species is very abundant near villages and in cultivated 

 land. This statement agrees well with what has been written 

 by several other authors who have found this Squirrel ex- 

 ceedingly common everywhere where there is cultivated land 

 both in Perak and in Selangor. On the eastern side of the 

 Peninsula it seems to be less common and affects more the 

 real jungles.
