Somewhat smaller than the succeeding species ; general 

 colour on the upper parts light grizzled grey, similar to 

 Sc. caniceps. Underparts pale fulvous, and a small patch of 

 the same colour behind the ear. Tail grizzled above and 

 fulvous below, each hair being black with a fulvous end ; tip 

 of the tail black. Feet fulvous. 



Dimensions (from skin): — Head and body 175 millim. ; 

 tail 150 ; hind foot 40.

Very similar to Sc. 2:tygerythrus^ from which it differs only 

 in its larger size and in the presence of a short dark stripe 

 along either side between the limbs. The colour of the 

 underparts is rather deeper in tone than in Sc. pygerythrus. 



Dimensions (from skin) : — Head and body 225 millim. ; 

 tail 200 ; hind foot 45. 



llah. S. Burma and Tenasserim. 



A certain amount of confusion seems to exist on the subject 

 of the colour of tlie underparts, Mr. Sclater leading us to 

 understand that the underparts of Sc. pygerythrus and 

 Sc. BlanfordiwexQ of a " bright red," while Dr. Anderson, on 

 the other hand, gives the colour as pale orange-yellow, which 

 latter statement agrees with all tlie specimens I have ex- 

 amined ; but the latter states that the underparts of Ss. Phayrei 

 are orange-red, whereas all the specimens in the Britisii Mu- 

 seum are yellowish orange (about iialfway between '' orange " 

 and "yellow-buff," Ridgway).
