Mazama nemorivaga (F. Cuvier). 
Two adults, male and female, both from Dibulla, the male 
taken in June, the female in April. The two skins differ some- 
what in color, the female being much the darker. They agree 
very well with the descriptions and figures of AZ. memorivaga, and, 
although from a region a long way from the type locality of that 
species, Guiana, appear perfectly referable to it. 
Sciurus variabilis variabilis Is. Geoff. 
Sciurus variabilis 1s. Geoff., Mag. de Zool. I, plate IV and text, 
1832. 
Type locality: Colombia. (Restricted by Bangs, Proc. Biol. Soc. 
Wash., Vol. XII, pp. 183-186, Nov. 16, 1898, to the form of the 
coast of Colombia, in the Santa Marta District.) 
Sciurus saltuensis bonde Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. of N. H., Vol. 
XII, pp. 213-217, Dec. 20, 1899. 
Type locality: Bonda, Santa Marta District, Colombia. 
Twenty-one specimens from near Santa Marta, 500 to 600 feet 
altitude, taken in December, 1897, and January and February, 
1898. 
Dr. Allen has just re-named the form to which I restricted 
Geoffroy’s name. In his long account of the series taken by 
Smith I can find no grounds for his so doing. The hand-colored 
plate accompanying Geoffroy’s description in Magasin de Zoologie 
is not very good and does not wholly agree with his description. 
There is nothing, however, in either plate or description that 
forbids the use of the name variadilis for the form found in the 
coast region of Colombia, near Santa Marta. The dark basal 
portion of the tail is apparently Allen’s only reason for throwing 
the name out. Geoffroy says that his three specimens varied 
much in color among themselves, and that (by elimination of 
regions that they certainly did not come from) they came from 
Colombia. I have in my series two skins with the basal portion 
of the tail dusky, much as shown in the plate, and others with 
wholly red rumps and flanks. 
After a careful re-examination of the whole case I can find no 
reason whatever for changing my former opinion. If Geoffroy’s
