 topotypes from Singapore. None of that dulness of jR-Iage, wlii.-h

 traceable. On the contrary, the Trengganu series is more ochraceouH 

 than the Singapore collection, especially as regards the under Hurfiuv «if 

 the body ; the Tinder parts of three males in j)articular IxMni; unmHt<-ii-

 remainder are decidedly more buffy, but the skulls and t<vth do not 

 differ appreciably. 



Sciurus tenuis sunlus, Miller,* was described from Tniug exunipleM, 

 but, owing to the fact that until lately we had seen no toj>oty|H'.s, »liil.» 

 the authorities of the United States National Musi'um hud wnl

 the typical tenuis to Singapore Island, we had Inn-n unal»lt« to nynrd

 topotypes, and I am now prepared to accejit Miller's nu-o a.** di.>t:; t
