This is a somewhat variable form. The general colour on the 
upper parts of the head and body is buffy-white to buffy with grey 
bases to the hairs. Usually the buff is so much in excess that the 
animals appear to be of that e»lour, and the grey bases of the hairs 
are hardly visible unless the fur is disturbed ; but in some examples 
the grey has so spread up the hairs that the effect is almost that of 
a grey- backed animal much washed with buff. Examples having 
the latter appearance, with which age and sex have nothing to do, 
may indicate an approximation to S.nox (though grey-based hair is 
common to many squirrels ), and since the two have not been found 
side by side, nor may be nothing more than a very distinct geogra- 
phical race of finlaysoni. 
Though S. f. cinnamomeus Temm., occurs towards Northern 
Siam and at Chantabun together with the white squirrel,* I did 
not meet with it at Lat. Bua Kao where the present form was the 
common squirrel, 
Messrs H. ©. Robinson and Oldfield Thomas have recently 
had some discussion with me as to the type locality of Scvwrus 
finlaysoni finlayson:; I having held ( following Anderson) that it 
came from the mainland, they that it was taken on Koh Si Chang in 
the Gulf of Siam; and though I do not consider that their arguments 
have fully proved their contention I am now able to settle the point
