specimen, which is in faded pelage, nnder this race which appears 

 to form a connecting link between gigantea and vielanopepla.

Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat Hist., XXII, p. 472 (1916). 



Typical locality. — Cheteriang, Hainan. 



Type. — In American Mus. of Natural History, New York. 



Except for the fact that the single specimen obtained is stated to 

 have tufted ears we should be inclined to place this race near the 

 island forms of B. melanopepla, viz., R. m. fretensis and R. m. penang- 

 ensis. 



Ratufa phaeopepla. 



a. phaeopepla phaeopepla, Miller.

and skiUl. 



Nos. 9530-1 and to a less extent No. 9532 are not typical ; the black 

 is more intense on the upper surface and the rufous ferruginous colour 

 below much richer, while the size is also rather large. They are 

 probably referable to R. t)t. calaenopepla, Miller, or an undescribed 

 form, but the material is not adequate for description or determina- 

 tion within very narrow limits.
