mala, remarking that the Guatemala specimens “differ from the ordinary 
specimens of S. carolinensis in being smaller and much more strongly tinged 
with brown or rufous. There are not sufficient grounds, however, for regard- 
ing them as distinct from that species, the differences being such as we 
might expect to meet with.” I have not, however, met with any specimens 
of this species from Mexico, notwithstanding the large number of Mexican 
Squirrels I have had the opportunity of examining. 
The Sciurus deppei of Peters clearly belongs to this group, as shown by 
its size, the length of the tail (with the hairs shorter than the body), and 
coloration. The locality is given as “Papantla, Mexico,” and the supposed 
species is here doubtfully referred to the southern form of S. carolinensis.
