This race is one of those into wliich <S. concolor of the Malay 

 Peninsula lias been split. In true 5. concolor, occurring south of 

 about Sungkia, there are no yellowish neck and flank patches, and the 

 black tip of the tail is not sharply defined, while, if an nchraceous suffu- 

 sion is present on the back, it is strongest on the rump. 



In the Tenasseriui and Siamese races, S. c. davisoni from South 

 Tenasserim and S. e. inilleri from Trang, both tha former features are 

 present but tlie last, if it occurs, is either general or deepest on the 

 shoulders. Animals from these localities vary verj'' much among them- 

 selves and it is possible that there is very little marked difference be- 

 tween the two races. 



The present example has the iiead and limbs grizzled grey, the 

 remainder of the body above being a speckle of black and ochraceous- 

 bufi". The sides of the neck, and the flanks extending below to the 

 inguinal region, are ochraceous-orange ; the rest of the under parts 

 being neutral gre}'. The tail is coarsely annulated buS" and black, the 

 hairs having whitish tips towards tlie extremity which is clear black, 

 sharply defined. 



The various grey squirrels from the Malay Peninsula and its 

 islands which do not have a change to a definite form of winter pelage 

 should all, I think, be regarded as races of S. cuacolor. In summer coat 

 canice}>s and concolor are very similar, but the latter is somewhat the 

 smaller of the two.
