LV. — On Sciurus notatus and allied Species, 

 By J. L. Bonhote, B.A. 



Tpiis group of laterally lineated squirrels is one in which 

 considerable confusion exists. The confusion has been 

 augmented by the existence of two forms, the one having 

 red or yellow underparts, and the other grey underparts ; 

 they are frequently found in the same localities, and have 

 generally been regarded as dimorphic forms of a single 

 species. 



The name S. notatus, which was applied by Boddaert in 

 his ' Eleuchus Animalium ' to Pennant's description of the 

 " PJantane Squirrel," has to be restricted to a small and 

 light-coloured species inhabiting Java and Sumatra. Raffles's 

 name S. vittatus belongs to a very variable species found in 

 Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, and Borneo ; while to the form 

 with grey underparts, hitherto considered specifically identical 

 with the above, and which is found in Java, Sumatra, the 

 Malay Peninsula, and Borneo, Horsfield's name of S. nigro- 

 vittatus should be applied. 



The following is a list of the species and subspecies of this 

 group : —
