lected by Mr. 8S. S. Flower. 
The affinities of this species are not very clear. It does 
not resemble any of the hitherto described forms. The skull 
seems to approach that of S. /tnlayson? more closely perhaps 
than that of other species, while from the general external 
appearance it appears to be more closely related to S. ery. 
threus. Further material is, however, necessary before 
pronouncing a definite opinion, 
The other species comes from Java, and for it I propose 
the name 
Sciurus Andrewsti, sp. n. 
General colour of the upper parts, including the top of the 
head and outer sides of the limbs, black, profusely grizzled 
with fulvous (buff-yellow, Ridg.*). Hach hair is very dark 
grey at the base, shading to black at the tip, having several 
fulvous annulations, which greatly predominate over the 
darker colour, The cheeks and face are of a very pale grizzled 
fulvous, each hair having a dark base and a fulvous tip; on 
the chin and underside of the neck the fulvous tip becomes 
eradually lighter, until its colour is pale greyish white. This 
colour extends over the underparts, inner sides of the limbs, 
and surface of the feet. There is a fair-sized patch of pale 
orange (orange-buff, Ridg.) at the base of each limb. At 
the base of the hind limbs these patches join in the middle 
line and spread backwards to the root of the tail. There is a 
very short but distinct stripe of pale buff (buff-yellow, Ridge.) 
running along either side between the limbs, and this is 
succeeded below by a still shorter stripe the colour of the 
back. ‘he ears are precisely similar in colour to the back. 
The tail is short, bushy, and distichous ; in colour it resembles
