 Chindwin, appears to be synonymous with this form, which, owing to 

 tlie pernicious custom of describing species casually in the text, has 

 largely escaped notice though the description is quite recognisable.

This squirrel varies in the intensity of the median grizzled streak 

 on the belly, which is very much fainter in some specimens than in others. 

 Two specimens shot in September have the under-surface pale yellow- 

 ish instead of rusty chestnut.

 win. 



Type. — In British Museum. 



1 No particular specimen having been designated as the type by Dr. Anderson, I 

 have fixed on No. 9260 as having a precise locality and sex attached. The form may be 

 recognised by the absence of a grizzled median Une on the belly and by having no black 

 tip to the tail which has the terminal hairs broadly banded with yellowish- buff.
