The large majority of these specimens are very typical, about half 

 with the black back patch highly developed and nearly all with the 

 vibrissae mainly yellowish- white. Those from Muleyit are much 

 colder greyish-yellow above, the tail much less richly coloured and the 

 vibrissae mainly black. Possibly they represent a seasonal phase or 

 more probably another subspecies which for the present I prefer not 

 to name. Nos. 9330, 9331 marked vaguely south of the Irrawaddy 

 have the back patch obsolescent and the tail mainly black, though the 

 others from the same locality are quite similar to those from Moulmein. 



b. atrodorsalis thai (Kloss). 



Journ. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siam, 11, p. 285 (1917). 



Typical locality. — Raheng, Central Siam. 



Type. — In private possession. 



The last four specimens recorded above are almost certainly to be 

 referred to this form. Pending direct comparison we have however 

 left them under the typical race as some doubt exists as to the seasonal 

 phases of these squirrels.
