much broader and more grizzled dark stripes which do not extend so 
far anteriorly. 
30. Menetes berdmorei. 
With 52 specimens available it appears possible to recognise 
the following continental races in Siam :— 
«, MENETES BERDMOREI BERDMOREL. 
Sciurus berdmorei, Blyth. Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal. X VIII, p. 603 
( 1849 ) 
Menetes berdmorei berdmorei, Thomas, Journ. Bombay N. H. Soe. 
XXIII, p. 23 (1914); Kloss, Journ. N. H. Soc. Siam, II, p. 23 
(1916) 
Dark dorsal stripes present but not conspicuous; undersur- 
face strongly buffy. 
Specimens examined:—Four from Martaban and Mergui, 
Tenasserim (ex coll. Indian Museum ); two from Klong Bang Lai, 
Patiyu! S$. W. Siam (January); three from Hua Hin, Pran! S. W. 
Siam, (June). 
For measurements see Kloss, loc. cit., and table posted, 
The specimens from Tenasserim and Patiyu have the charac- 
ters given above; the Pran examples, which were taken at midsum- 
mer, are very different. They are extremely pale and dull-coloured 
animals with the sides of the head and the extremities of the limbs 
greyish; there are no dark dorsal stripes and the areas between the 
yellow lateral stripes, which are pale, are of the same colour as the 
back; the under-parts are pure white. Hua Hin is in the same 
latitude as Mergui and only a hundred miles north of Klong Bang 
Lai and it seems at present premature to regard these examples 
as distinct. 
Distribution :—Rangoon, ( Burma ) to Patiyu, 5S. W, Siam ; 
(typical locality, Moulmein ). 
b. MENETES BERDMORE! MOUHOTI. 
Seiurus mouhoti Gray, P. Z. 5. 1861, p. 137 
Menetes berdmorei mouhoti, Thomas, Journ. Bombay N. H. 8, 
XXIII, p. 23 (1914); Kloss. P. Z. 8, 1916, p. 48; id. Journ. 
N. H. 8. Siam, LI, p. 84 (1916).
