Owing to want of skulls I am unable definitely to place : — 



Aavivittis, Peters, wbose external appeai'ance is that of Funisciurus 



congicus, but whose geographical position and shape of skull 



(as figured by Peters) suggest Paraxerus. 

 bayoni{,J5ocage, probably related to Sciurus poensis, hut Funiscturvs 



subst7-iatus has a similar indistinct lateral band, and perhaps a 



real relationship to it.
