Eatufa bioolor hypoleuca (Horsfield). 



1824. Sciurus hypoleucos Horsfield, Zool. Res. in Java (pages not 

 numbered). 



One specimen. Goenoug Soegi, Lainpoug District. October 

 and November. 



As compared witli two Javan examples, this specimen seems quite 

 distinct. It is decidedly lighter, the central dorsal region being 

 straw color instead of dull ochraceous, the rump pale-brown with 

 ochraceous haii's interspersed instead of blackish-brown with silvery 

 hairs ; the under fur of the upper parts is smoky-gray instead of 

 blackish-brown, and the ventral surface almost pure white instead 

 of tinged with pale ochraceous. 



Horsfield' s specimen came from Sumatra and seems to agree with 

 the one in hand. 

 Eatufa affinis (Raffles). 



1822. Sciurus affinis Raffles, Trans. Linn. Soc,, London, XIII, p. 

 259. 



Two specimens, male and female. Goenong Soegi, Lampong 

 District. October and November. 



The male is darker than the female, especially the tail, which is 

 nearly chocolate color instead of ochraceous brown ; the white of 

 the head is also more clearly defined. 

 Tupaia tana Raffles. 



1822. Tupaia tana Raffles, Trans. Linn. Soc, London, XIII, p. 257. 



Six specimens. Goenong Soegi, Lampong District. October 

 and November. 



These specimens seem lo be all referable to the above species, 

 although they present considerable variation in color and size. 



The largest is nearly black above with an underlying tint of 

 maroon, while the hairs of the head and shoulders are finely annu- 

 lated with buff ; below it is didl maroon, the tail a brighter shade 

 of the same. 



Another nearly the same size is lighter above with the buff 

 annulations prevailing over the shoulders, and extending back 

 nearly to the tail on some of the hairs. Tail bright maroon above 

 and below, under parts bright tawny with a tinge of maroon. 



Two small specimens, apparently young, have a still greater 

 admixture of buft" on the head, shouldere and back, while the 

 under parts are more tinged with buff. The skulls are nmch 

 shorter with the protruding maxillaries less developed.
