We have not used Teniminck's name for this species [Tamias leucotis, 

 Zool. sur la Cote de Guenee, p. 252 (1853)] as adopted by Bonhote see- 

 ing that as pointed out by Miller {he. cit.) the description does not fit 

 the Malayan animal. 



There is no ambiguity about Miller's descri])tion and failing a re- 

 examination of Temminck's type Miller's name has been adopted.

We are not acquainted with these three races and are therefore 

 unable to place them in their correct positions ; the last race is 

 recorded as having been collected in the same place on the same dates 

 as a series of T. m. formosanus.

This Chinese form is we think snfficiently distinct from the races of 

 T. macclellandi to merit specific distinction. 



The two specimens listed above from very widely separated localities 

 are very different in appearance and probably represent distinct sub- 

 species though possibly they are seasonal phases. That from Moupin 

 has the dorsal stripes inconspicuous and almost obsolete, while the 

 Kiangsi specimen has them very conspicuous, the two inner pale 

 stripes being almost the colour of the back, while the outer ones are buff 

 white. The three black stripes are broad and strongly marked.
