variation or not. Of the considerable series before me three (two 

 from Pasighat and one from between Kalek and Misshing) with 

 marked black tips to their tails and of somewhat larger size are 

 certainly referable to this subspecies^ while one from between 

 Kalek and Misshing is intermediate between the present race and 

 Sc. erythraeus intermedins , Anderson. (For particulars and measure- 

 ments see table, postea^ p. 93). 



16. Scuirus erythraeus intermedius, Anderson.

The series from Kobo agrees well with the original type and 

 must be referred to Anderson's subspecies, having nothing to do 

 with Sc. griseopectus, Blyth, a name which has been applied to 

 Assamese specimens by Bonhote, loc. cit. The median grizzled 

 line on the abdomen is generally absent but is faintly indicated in 

 some individuals. The specimens from between Kalek and Missh- 

 ing are intermediate between this and the preceding subspecies 

 though, with one exception, they lack the black termination to 

 the tail. The present form is however somewhat smaller as the 

 table of dimensions (postea, p. 94) shows. 



17. Sciurus stevensi, Thomas.

The series detailed in the table of measurements is very 

 uniform and agrees well with the description of the type, which 

 was obtained at Beni-Chang in the Abor-Miri Hills at an altitude 

 of 4,000 ft. The species is regarded by its describer as allied to 

 Sc. atrodorsalis , which inhabits Pegu, Northern and Central 

 Tenasserim. 



18. Tamiops macclellandi (Horsf.). 



Sciurus macclellandi typicus, Bonhote, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 

 (7) V, p. 51 (1900). 



The three specimens in the collection (for details of which 

 see table of measurements, postea, p. 95) belong to the typical 

 Himalayan form. The race inhabiting Manipur' is greyer and 

 much less yellowish on the upper surface, while the Burmese and 

 Malayan'^ forms are separated at a glance by having three black 

 stripes on the back instead of a single median one.
