Dusky-ferruginous Squirrel, with tail and under parts fulvous, 

 and rounded beardless ears. 



Sciurus Anomalus. Guldenstedt . Schirber. p. 781. t. 115. C. 



THIS species is said by its describer, Mr. Gul- 

 denstedt, to be a native of Georgia in Asia, and 

 to be larger than a common squirrel. Its colour 

 on the upper parts of the head, body, and limbs, 

 is dusky ferruginous, and of the under parts and 

 tail, bright ferruginous, the breast and belly be- 

 ing paler than the other parts ; the ears are small 

 and slightly sharpened at the tips*. 



* In the figure published by Mr. Schreber in his History of 

 Quadrupeds, and which, he tells us, was communicated by Dr. 

 Pallas, ^he ears are represented rather sharp-pointed ; yet in the 

 specific character, given by Dr. Grr.elin, they are said to be rounded.
