Mounted specimens in the Leyden Museum:

Sciurus tenuis, 



1824. Sciurus tenuis Horsfield. Zoological Researches in 

 Java. 



1839 - 1844, Sciurus modestus Muller and Schlegel. Ver- 

 handelingen etc. p. 96. T. 14. figs. 1 — 3. 



1878. Sciurus tenuis Anderson. Yunnan Expedition, p. 

 255. 



There are two upper premolars. 



It was not without long hesitation that Muller and 

 Schlegel have given the specific title modestus to this spe- 

 cies, as they were not sure if it was not the same species 

 as Horsfield's tenuis. I agree with Blyth and Anderson in 

 considering them identical. 



Sciurus philippevsis Waterhouse and Macroxus chinensis 

 Gray are closely allied to Sciurus tenuis Horsfield (Ander- 

 son. 1. c. p. 255).
