SCIURUS SALAE. 65 



Hab. Liberia, St. Paul's River (Bavia and Soforé-Place.J 

 Mr. Büttikofer relates in his Journal that the natives 

 distinguish this species very well, and give it the name 

 »Bushcat", saying that it is not a » Squirrel". It lives 

 in cavities of trees. 



The other Sciuri sent over from Liberia belong to the 

 following long known species, viz. Sc. poensis Smith, leu- 

 costigina Temm. , punctatus Temm., maculatus Temm. and 

 temminckii. Sciwus temminckii is the name I propose for the 

 species, described by the late Temminck under the name 

 caniceps: the latter name must be altered as in 1842 Gray 

 shortly diagnosed a Squirrel from Bhotan under the name 

 Sciurus caniceps. Gray's caniceps is prior to Teraminck's 

 caniceps which was described in 1853; I have taken this 

 opportunity to rebaptize the latter in Sc. temminckii.
