Skeleton with 13 costales, 6 lumbares, 3 sacrales and 

 about 20 caudales. There are two upper premolars. The 

 pale bands or lines generally stop at certain distance of 

 the base of the tail. I think it very probable that further 

 investigations will prove that this species is synonymous 

 with Sciurus palmarum. 



Hab. Ceylon and Southern India, on the Nilgiris even 

 as high as Gotacamund , it has also been obtained in Mid-
