18 MR. C. BODEN KLOSS ON 



The basal two-thirds of the tail is like the back but much more 

 coarselj' annulated, the terminal third is annulatcd black and chest- 

 nut with the baae of the hairs black and ochraceous'. 



8. floa-eri has the same type of colouration as S. Jiocov.rti, 

 and the measurements so closel3' agree with those of the present 

 specimen (and with Wrougliton's dimensions for hocourti ), except in 

 the matter of greatest length of skull alone, that I now think the 

 figure given <'44mm. ) is probably a misprint and therefore have 

 placed Bonhote's name amongst other synonyms of the typical race. 

 ( For measurements see table p. 30).

This squirrel is a member of a group or species of which a num- 

 ber of forms have hien distinguished from the Indo-Chinese sub- 

 region. 



Colour above, and including entire tail which is coarsely 

 annulated, a grizzle of black and ochraceous, the latter colour being in 

 excess on the liead and ears while the terminal half of the tail is suf- 

 fused with golden orange. Below, the grizzled area is duller ; and 

 extending between the fore and hind limbs, divided bj' a median 

 grizzled line, are two bro.ad stripes of mahogany red ; but the extent of 

 the latter colour is verj' variable in animals from the same locality. 

 (For measurements see table p. 31).
