o/*Me Sciuiii.-< Prevostii Group. 173 



The next species with which wc have to deal is 



Sciurus atn'capillusj Schlegel. 



Sciuriis atricapillm, Scbl(>f;;el, op. at. p. 27, pi. ii. fi;r. 1. 

 Sciurus rediinitus, Boon Mesch, Temni. Es'i. Zool. Guin. p. 245 (partim) 

 (1853). 



In tliis species, accorcliiig to the tlcscrlber, the underparts 

 and inner sides of limbs alone are chestnut. The t:\il is black, 

 shading to rufous-brown. The white lateral stripe is 

 narrower and the sublateral black stri[)e much bro;ider than 

 in Sc. Prevostii typicus. The top of tiie muzzle and feet are 

 black, the remainder, including all the; upper jiarts, is covered 

 with black hairs annuiatod with fulvous, which is rather 

 paler on the tiiighs, cheeks, and sides of the neck. 



Hab. Kapouas Kiver, east of Pontianak, Borneo. 



The next is a species in which we get a highland and a 

 lowland form, the limit being roughly at 1000 feet, and 

 neither of these appears to have been hitherto described. They 

 come from the Baram district of Sarawak, and the large 

 series in the Museum has been almost entirely collected by 

 Mr. Charles Hose. For the lowland form I propose the 

 name 



Sciurus Caroh\ sp. n. 

 Sciurus Prevostii, Desni., Hose, Mamm. Borneo, 1893, p. 45 (partim). 



Top of the head, neck, and shoulders dirty fulvous white, 

 each hair being dark at its ba.se, with a broad fulvous tip. 

 Remainder of back narrowing down towards the root of the 

 tail dingy black, each hair being black, with two narrow 

 fulvous annulations. Lateral stripe from behind the shoulders 

 and the whole of the outer side of the thighs and hind limbs 

 white. Underparts, feet, sides of neck, cheeks, face, and rim 

 round eye pure chestnut, also the ears, although these latter 

 show a tendency to become grizzled. Tail broadly annu- 

 lated with black and pale fulvous. Sublateral black stripe 

 very faint or absent. 



Dimensions (from skin): — Head and body 275 millim., 

 tail 200, hind foot o').
