248 Records of the Indian Museum. ly^^- ^^j 



The Ceylon race of this squirrel to which the above name mnst pro- 

 bably be ascribed appears to differ from the Southern Indian form 

 in having the general colour darker and the back stripes much less 



disti net. 



The specimen listed may be regarded as the type of Sciurvs trili- 

 neatus, Kelaart {Prodr. Faun. Zeylon, p. 52 ; 1854), a name which had 

 been inadvertently used by Blyth in speaking of F. layardi, thus render- 

 ino- it inavailable. Under these circumstances the form has been re-named 

 by Thomas Funamhulus kathleenae {Journ. Nat. Hist. Sac. Bombay, 

 XXIV, p. 38; 1915), which in its turn is preoccupied by the name at the 

 head of this section.
