Tlioiigh this specimen is in very worn pelage I liave no hesita- 

 tion in recording it as an example of 7?. aureire/ifer. I can find no 

 trace of the annulation.s on tlie back wliich are one of tlie principal 

 characters of 7?. pi/rsoiiota and it lias the cafean-lait tail wliich is so 

 frecjnent in the former, whereas in tlie latter tlie tail is chocolate 

 coloured. 



The presence of an nureiventer squirrel in Patani is most unex- 

 pected and considerablj' extends the range of that form hitherto found 

 only to the south of North F-'erak and North Pahang, beyond which 

 Tt. pi/rsonota was the onlj- j'hIIow giant-sqiiirivl met with ]ireviously.i 

 It differs from the latter in having the upper parts iKit, or only 

 faiiith', annulated. and in having the tail often ]iractically concohmrous 

 witli the the back.
