and various other plants. In some places the wild jujube affords 

 them a plentiful autumn harvest. 



EUTAMIAS ASIATICUS ORIENTALIS (Bonhote) 



Tamias orientalis Bonhote, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, vol. 4, 1899, p. 385 

 (Upper Ussuri River, Siberia). 



Specimens. — Twenty-four : 120 miles up the Yalu Kiver, in Korea, 

 1, and the following: localities in Manchuria — 60 miles southwest of 

 Kirin, 3; 120 miles northeast of Sansing, 10; 20 to 35 miles south- 

 southeast of Chaoyangchen, 5; Imienpo, 4; and 180 miles up the 

 Yalu River, 1. 



Practically all of the individuals listed may be regarded as fairly 

 typical save that a few are inclined to have the rump duller. The 

 Korea specimen is unusually bright, especially upon the head, and 

 the other Yalu River skin is in much worn pelage, showing practi- 

 cally no bright coloring whatever. 



Thomas (1908) considered that the races of E. asiaticus and E. 

 senescens belong to a single species, while G. M. Allen (1925) con- 

 sidered them distinct. Certainly typical specimens of true asiaticus 

 and senescens are very different looking, but some individuals of 

 orientalis and intercessor, although differing in tone, have so much 

 in common as regards character of striping, that I am inclined to 

 agree with Thomas. 



EUTAMIAS ASIATICUS SENESCENS Miller 



Eutamias senescens Millee, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Pliila., 1898, p. 349 (West- 

 ern Hills, 15 miles west of Peking, Chihli, China). 



Specimens. — Eight from Chihli : The type ; Chingwangtao, 1 ; and 

 65 to 75 miles northeast of Peking, 6. 



EUTAMIAS ASIATICUS UMBROSUS A. B. Howell 



Eutamias asiaticus umbrosus A. B. Hov^kix, Journ. Wash. Acad. Sci., vol. 17, 

 1927, p. 80 (140 miles south of Lanchowfu=vicinity of Archuen, Minshan 

 Mountains, Kansu, China). 



Specimens. — Four: From the type locality (the type) and vicinity, 

 2; and Sungpan, Szechwan, 2. 



This is a dark-colored chipmunk differing from intercessor., its 

 nearest ally, in the absence of gray hairs throughout the darker areas 

 of the head and shoulders. The coloration of the head is darker and 

 duller and the gray tips to the hairs upon the upper side of the tail 

 practically hide any ochraceous markings.
