122) = New Insular Squirrels from Peninsular Siam. 
epomophorus, but its general characters are distinctly those of 
concolor. 
Calloscturus mohetus, sp. n. 
Size considerably smaller than in the ordinary members of 
the concolor-caniceps group, but essential characters similar. 
General colour above deep buffy, without shoulder-patches. 
Small buffy postauricular patches present. Under surface 
greyish white, lighter on the chin and throat, darker on the 
belly, where there is a darker median line; small groin- 
patches present, deep buffy. Front of forearms greyish 
white, hands and inner sides of forearms quite white; inner 
side of hind limbs white, hairs of terminal phalanges, both 
fore and hind, yellowish. Tail with a black tip, its remainder 
grizzled with black and buffy, the bases of the hairs buffy ; 
midrib below bright buffy, short of the terminal black tip. 
Hab. Pulau Mohea—north—about 30 miles off the Trang 
coast, 7° 14!’ N. 
The small squirrels of Molhea we have made an exception 
to the general principle of attaching the insular forms to 
the parent continental species. Mohea being out to sea 
opposite the dividing-line between the ranges of epomophorus 
and coneolor, while its squirrel, shows some unexpected 
resemblances to caniceps, and others to telibius (of which it 
might most naturally be supposed to be a derivative), we are 
at present unable to decide to which species it should be 
attached, and provisionally give it a binomial name. 
But Mohea itself is divided into two by a channel some 
70 yards in width, and, narrow as this is, it has resulted in 
the squirrels of the two islets being definably different from 
each other. Giving the primary name moheius to the form 
of the north islet, we propose to call that of the south— 
Callosciurus moheius mohillius, subsp. n. 
General essential characters, the small size, yellowish 
coloration, black tail-tip, and absence of ferruginous patches 
as. in mohetus, but the dorsal colour duller and browner, 
nearly approaching “ clay-colour” ; under surface also 
darker, against which the buffy groin-patches show more 
strongly. Postauricular patches scarcely perceptible. Feet 
and tail as in moheius, though the midrib of the latter is not 
so strongly ochraceous.
