168 Mr. J. L. Bonhote on the Squirrels 
The same remarks hold good with regard to Se. baluensts 
from Borneo and Sc. erythromelas and Se. Schlegeli from 
Celebes. I am inclined to believe that further investiga- 
tion will prove them to be races of one and the same species, 
but from lack of sufficient material and data I have thought 
it best, considering the distinctness as a rule of Bornean and 
Celebean species, to keep them separate. 
The next point of note is the question of the exact locality 
of Sc. redimitus. The original describer states that it was 
collected in the East Indies; Temminck imagines it to have 
come from 8. Borneo; while Schlegel, correcting the last- 
named author, states that it came from Sumatra and that he 
removed it from the original spirit in which it was preserved, 
It is impossible to say which, if any, of these statements is 
correct; from the original description it seems to agree 
most nearly with the race from Selangore, but in the ‘face 
of Schlegel’s statement that it came from Sumatra it seems 
best to leave the matter open for the present. 
Owing to lack of material, I have omitted descriptions of 
the skulls, although from those examined there seems to be 
very little, if any, variation among them. 
We have thus seven species in this group :— 
(1) Seturus Prevostit, from the Malay Peninsula, Sua- 
matra, and Borneo. 
(2) Sctwrus atricapillus, from 8.W. Borneo. 
(8) Scturus Caroli, from Sarawak and the Baram district, 
Borneo. 
(4) Securus baluensis, from N.W. Borneo and the Ba- 
ram district. 
(5) & (6) Scturus erythromelas and Sc. Schlegeli, from 
Celebes. 
(7) Scturus rufoniger, from Borneo. 
Of Selurus Prevostii ten (or probably only eight) races 
may be distinguished :— 
(1) Seiurus Prevostii typicus, from Malacca and the 
Malay Peninsula. 
(2) Seturus Prevostii Hume, from Selangore. 
(3) Seturus Prevostir sarawakensts, from Sarawak, 
(4) Sciurus Prevostit kuchingensis, from Kuching, 
S.W. Sarawak. 
Sciurus Prevostii navigator, from Sirhassen Island. 
Sciurus Prevostii bangkanus, from the Island of 
Bangka.
