Sciurus Prevostii Ilumei, subsp. n. 

 Sciunts Prevostii, Desm., Thos. P. Z. S. 188G, p. 70. 



Differs from the preceding form in the red of the under- 

 parts covering the whole of the fore limbs and spreading 

 upwards over the shoulders till it meets tlie black of tlie bade. 

 The cheeks are grizzled, but behind and below the ear is a 

 pure white patch. The hind feet are of a more brilliant and 

 purer chestnut than in S. P. typicas, and the black sublateral 

 stripe is not always present. 



Dimensions similar to the last.

Sciurus Prevostii sarawakensis, Gray. 

 Macroxtis sarawakeiisis, Gray, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. xx. 1867, p. 277. 



This race, of which only two specimens are known, is very 

 distinct from the preceding forms. One of the chief features 

 (common to this and the next) is the tail, the hairs of which 

 have long light fulvous tips, which, though sometimes worn, 

 are always to be seen. The black of the back is somewhat 

 restricted ; it narrows down to a stripe over the shoulders, and, 

 broadening out over the back, narrows again over the thighs 

 to a stripe about the width of the tail. The lateral stripe, 

 which is narrow and of a dirty white between the limbs, 

 broadens out to cover the whole of the thighs, where it is of 

 a light fulvous, each hair being black at its base. Tlie whole 

 of the underparts, shoulders, sides of neck, face, and limbs 

 are of a deep chestnut, slightly tinged with fulvous over the 

 shoulders, and with a tendency to being grizzled on the cheeks. 

 There is no sign of the sublateral black stripe. 



Dimensions as in Sc. Prevostii typicus.

Sciurus Prevostii kuchingensisy subsp. n. 



Very similar to Sciurus Prevostii sarawakensis, but differs 

 in the lateral stripe being pure white, in having a much 

 larger extent of black on the neck and back, and in the ful- 

 vous tips to the hairs of the thighs being small, so that the
