SOME SIAMESE MAMMALS. 85 



Though an uimsually pale example, this squirrel is yet evident!}' 

 a member of the above I'ace. The upper parts have a faded, washed- 

 out appearance but can be almost matched by the dullest of a series 

 obtained by me in S. E. Siam in January 1915. The brown on the 

 middle back is very dull and pale, and the black stripes there are 

 obsolete, while in the areas between the buff stripes and the sides, brown 

 predominates over the black. The under surface of body and limbs is 

 white suffused with buffy, the latter deepest on the hind limbs.

The type of tliis race was collected at Nan in October. The 

 present examples, which are practically topotype?, exhibit a slight 

 difference, which is probably seasonal, for the under surface of body and 

 limbs is pure white instead of yellowish white. There are no dark 

 stripes on the back ; those on the sides, below the outer buff stripes, are 

 pure black in one example, but slightly grizzled with rufous in the 

 other. The upper buffy side stripe is most distinct, the lower blends 

 with a short indistinct grey -black stripe which separates it from the 

 white of the under surface. Tiie back, which, is the brightest portion of 

 the pehige, is amber-brown speckled with black.
