haired, as in “Dendrogale,” but without any terminal pencil ; 
its colour deep shining black, except at the base, where it is 
like the back. Face coloured as in Z. minor, not as in 
“Dendrogale.” 
Dimensions of the type (¢) :— 
Head and body 125 millim.; tail 136; hind foot 29°7. 
Basal length of skull 30; front of +4 to back of ™3 17-7, 
Hab, Mount Dulit, 5000 feet (C. Hose). 
Sciurus Brooket, sp. n. 
Allied to and of the general colour of typical Singapore 
specimens of S. tenuis, Horsf., but distinguished by its much 
larger size and by its cheeks, anal region, and the proximal 
inch of the tail beneath being bright rufous. 
Dimensions :— 
Head and body 205 millim.; tail 144; hind foot 37; 
basal length of skull (c.) 37. 
Hab. Mount Dulit, N. Borneo (C. Hose). 
Sciurus Lowit, sp. n. 
Size and general colour above of S. tenucds, Horsf., but 
darker, sleeker, and more finely grizzled. Ears black-rimmed. 
Whole of under surface and inner sides of limbs pure white or 
yellowish white, without admixture of grey. ‘Tail broadly 
ringed with orange and black. Muzzle of skull markedly 
longer and interorbital breadth less than in S. tenu?s ; incisors 
thrown more forward, forming a more open curve, and the 
lower pair as dull-coloured in front as the upper. 
Dimensions of the type, an adult male in skin (probably 
overstretched) :— 
Head and body 154 millim. ; tail 95; hind foot 33. 
Skull: basal length 34; greatest breadth 23-3; nasals, 
length 12, breadth 5°53 interorbital breadth 11-2; diastema

The occurrence of a typical grey-bellied short-snouted 
S. tenuis in Mr. Everett’s Baram collection proves that this 
white-bellied form, of which the Museum possesses six speci- 
mens, is really distinct from that animal, with which I had 
hitherto provisionally left it. 
The difference in proportion between the skulls of S. tenuis 
and S. Lowzi is readily shown by the fact that in the former 
the interorbital breadth is equal to the distance from the front
