mnlii, loiMnikiiig that tlio Gualcmulii specimens "difTer from the ordinary 

 spccinioiis of S. airolinemiH in being smaller and much more strongly tinged 

 with brown or rufous. There are not sufficient grounds, however, for regard- 

 ing them as distinct from that species, the difTerenceB being such as we 

 might expect to meet with." I have not, liowever, met with any s|)ecimen8 

 of tiiis species from Mexico, notwithstanding the large number of Mexican 

 Squirrels I have had the opportunity of examining. 



The Sciurus deppei of Peters clearly belongs to this group, as shown by 

 its size, the length of the tail (with the hairs shorter than the body), and 

 coloration. The locality is given as "Papantia, Mexico," and the suppot«ed 

 species is here doubtfully referred to the southern form of S. carolinensis.
