Allen (1925) noted that his specimens from the Likiang Rancfe were 

 bareh'- distinguishable from griselda^ rather than more yellowish 

 olivaceous than fiavior^ as stated hy the describer of licMensis, so it 

 is evident that his specimens are also of the grayer type which I have 

 referred to pernyi. 



DREMOMYS PERNYI CALIDIOR Thomas 



Dremomys pernyi calidior Thomas, Auu, Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, vol. 17,

/Specimens. — Two from Kuatun, Fukien. 



The bases of the ear patches of these topotypes can hardly be 

 described as white, as mentioned by Thomas. In fact they are but 

 little lighter than the ochraceous color upon the tips of the hairs.

Spedrtiens. — Eight from Hwangtsaopa, Kweichow. 



These are all September specimens. In addition to the buffy 

 underparts, most strongly marked upon the throat, chest, and in the 

 inguinal region, the cheeks have a strong undertone of ochraceous, 

 as has the undertail. The ruddy anal area is situated well caudad 

 and extends markedly down the medial side of the thighs. The skins 

 seem to be not quite typical and are from fairly midway between 

 the type localities of modestus and flavior; but their size, as well as 

 the character of pelage, places them with the latter race.

Specimen. — One from Damala Pass, Szechwan. 



The clear gray of the undertail is characteristic of this race.

Specimens. — Three from Likiang Mountains, Yunnan. 



Variation among the squirrels of this genus occurring in north- 

 western Yunnan has never been well understood. Several mistakes in 

 identification are known to have been made in the past and un- 

 doubtedly others remain undetected. For one thing it is felt that 

 .seasonal variation and possibly age differences are not well under- 

 stood. Under ordinary circumstances it would be considered that
