Trans. Linn. Soc, XIII, p. 258 (1822). 



Typical locality. — Singapore.

9545 $ Singapore (Rutledge) ; skull only. 



The identification of this skull subspecifically is doubtful, but the 

 specimen agrees with authentic examples from the type locality.

Typical locality. — Bencoolen, West Sumatra. 

 Type. — Doubtfully in existence. 



9543. Java (Horsfiekl) [C] <.v India Museum, London ; skin and skull. 



The localities attached to specimens from the old India Museum 

 were notoriously incorrect, and I therefore am practically certain that 

 the present one is incorrect, insomuch as no squirrel of this type is 

 known from Java, neither Shortridge nor myself nor any recent collector 

 having met with it.^ I have therefore assigned it to the present race 

 with the descriptions of which by Lyon and others it very fairly well 

 agrees.
