n/Mc Sciurus Prevostii Group. 17.5 



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

 fail 2S0, hind foot .W. 



Hah. Mount Kina Bain, Borneo, alt. 1000 feet. 



Time S, B.M. 9"). 10. 4. 11. Collected March 1887 by 

 Mr. J. Whitehead. Presented by Mr. OldHid I Thomas. 



There are also specimens from Mount Dulit up to 5000 feet 

 in no way diftcring from the above. 



I am somewhat doubtful as to the specific distinctness of 

 this form from Sc. cn/thromelas of Schlogel from Ci'lebos ; 

 but in view of the distinctness of the Bornean fauna from that 

 of Celebes, it seemed best to consider it speciikally distinct 

 until an opportunity occurs of comparing it with Celebean 

 specimens. 



Sciurus haluensis suffusus^ subs p. ii. 



Considerably smaller than the previous form. The whole 

 of the upper parts as in Sc. haluensis, but the colour absolutely 

 uniform throughout and without any rufous on the feet or top 

 of the nose. The sides of tiic face and a ring round the eye 

 are pure chestnut, but the muzzle is paler. The tail is similar 

 in colour to the back. The presence of the light lateral stripe 

 is only faintly indicated by a lighter tinge about the centre 

 of each side, and the sublateral black stripe, although 

 distinct, is very short.
