Island. The deer was kept alive by Mr. Freeman for nearly a year, 
and according to his statement was about a year and a half old at 
the time of shipment. It was received alive at New York, May 16, 
1gto, and there killed and prepared as a museum specimen. For 
comparison with it, two specimens from the mainland of South 
America have been available, representing Odocoileus gymnotis or an 
allied form. One of these is an adult male (skin and skull) from La 
Guaira, Venezuela, courteously loaned by the U. S. National Museum 
through Mr. N. Hollister, Assistant Curator of Mammals; the other, 
a young male (skull only) from San Mateo de Caicara, Orinoco River 
Venezuela, for the loan of which the Museum is indebted to Mr. F. A. 
Lucas, Curator-in-Chief of the Museum of the Brooklyn Institute of 
Arts and Sciences. 
Sciurus neszeus G. M. Allen. 
Two specimens of this well-marked species are in the collection 
taken by Mr. Ferry on Margarita Island. 
Sciurus griseogena Gray. 
Two specimens, Mountains near Maracay, Aragua, Venezuela; 
collected by N. Dearborn. These agree very closely with Gray’s 
type, with which they were compared in the British Museum, They 
show much resemblance in general appearance to S. hoffmanni and 
doubtless are closely related to that species, though readily distin- 
guishable by their more rufescent tails. Two specimens from Caracas 
collected by Mr. Ferry may be referable to griseogena also, but their 
general color is much paler, being scarcely brighter than in S. que- 
bradensis. 
Sciurus versicolor zuli# subsp. nov. 
Type from Orope, Zulia, Venezuela. | No, 16,584 Field Museum of 
Natural History. Adult male. Collected March 1, 1908, by Ned 
Dearborn. 
Characters. Similar to Sciurus versicolor of Ecuador but with 
black instead of ferruginous predominating on the nape and inter- 
scapular region; feet and upper side of forelegs scarcely grizzled but 
nearly clear ferruginous; tail more broadly black terminally; black 
of back continuous with that of proximal part of tail; pelage rather 
short and harsh. Upperparts chiefly black to roots of hairs, only 
the lower sides, the shoulders, hips, and thighs being mixed black and 
ferruginous; interscapular region, nape and top of head mainly
