This is the southern and paler form of Sciurus rohinsoni, Bonhote, 

 from Bukit Besar, Patani States, and has only hitherto been obtained 

 on the boimdary range in Pahang. It is now known from numerous 

 localities in the Western States, where its southern limit at present is 

 Negri Sembilan.

I have recently seen specimens of the stri2:)ed Grround-Squirrel from 

 Trang, whence came the single individual on which Mr. Miller's 

 (Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, vol. 45, 1903, p. 25) Funam- 

 hulus peninsuke was based, which does not appear to differ from 

 examples described as Funamhulus insignis jalorensis by Mr. Bonhote, 

 a name that has priority of date. 



Though individuals from Perak to Singapore have been " lumped '" 

 by Messrs. Thomas and Wroughtou {Journ. F.M.S. Museums, vol. IV, 

 1909, p. 118) under the name of Lariscus insignis, there is a marked 

 diii'erence between those from the Federated Malay States and the 

 Northern Malay Peninsula and those from Southern Johore and 

 Singapore ; animals from the fonner area being only fulvous on 

 shoiilders and thighs, whereas the others are strongly fulvous 

 throughovit above, and below are washed with orange-fulvous on 

 thighs and on sides of throat. The southern specimens differ 

 decidedly from a large northern series (if from it be excluded an isolated 

 specimen from Bukit Kutu, Selangor, which outdoes them in richness 

 of colour but appears abnormal). Mr. Bonhote has referred (P.Z.S., 

 1906, vol. I, p. 6) Johore specimens to F. peninsuhc, Miller.
