Hab. Kakhyen hills, within the Chinese frontier at

No specimen in the Leyden Museum. 



Further investigations must make out if the five ven- 

 tral stripes are constant in all the specimens or acciden- 

 tally as is the case with the other so-called belly-banded 

 Squirrels. And if it turns out that my supposition is cor- 

 rect, than I feel sure that it will appear that this species 

 is synonymous with Sciurus atrodorsalis or perhaps with 

 Sciurus lokroides.
