172 Mr. J. L. Bonhote on the Squtrrels 
stripe as in all the other races, but the hairs of the back as 
they approach the stripe are more or less broadly tipped with 
fulvous, so that the sides become grizzled like the thighs. 
Dimensions as in Se. P. typicus.

A very distinct and easily recognizable form. The 
whole of the upper parts and tail are of a deep black. The 
white lateral stripe, which is broad and well defined, starts 
behind the shoulders and spreads out over the outer side of the 
hind limbs. The underparts, including the shoulders, fore 
limbs, inner side of hind limbs, and feet, are of a very deep 
chestnut. The cheeks and sides of the neck are grizzled iron- 
grey; a patch on the side of the nose pure white. 
Dimensions as in Se. P. typicus. 
Hab. Sumatra. 
Co-type, B.M. 84. 6. 3. 8. Collected by Sir 'T. S. Raffles, 
formerly in the Zoological Society’s Museum. Received 
from the late Dr. Crisp’s collection. 
I have united under this species Se. rufogularts of Gray, 
which was stated to have come from China, although it most 
probably did not. It differs from Sc. P. Rafflesi only in size, 
and the other differences mentioned by Gray do not seem to 
hold good.

This form seems to be very nearly allied to Se. Prevostzi 
Humei, differing chiefly in being lighter in colour, and this 
might possibly be due either to bleaching or to the spirit in 
which it was preserved. ‘here seems, however, to be great 
doubt as to its locality ; and in view of the fact that Schlegel 
states positively that it came from Sumatra, it seems best to 
leave it as a separate race for the present till further informa- 
tion is forthcoming.
