therefore this character cannot be merely a sign of the rutting- 
season, as I had originally suspected. 
17. Scrurus RUFIGENIS, Blanf. 
a. 5500!, b. 6300', Mt. Mooleyit, 1/2/77 and 31/1/77 (Co- 
types of species). 
I have nothing to add to Mr. Blanford’s excellent description of 
this species. There can be no doubt that it is, as he suggests, nearly 
allied to S. pernyi, M.-Edw., but it may easily be distinguished by 
its brilliant red cheeks, that species having them grey like the back. 
The unusual length of the muzzle is equally found in both, and 
together they seem to lead from the ordinary Squirrels towards the stiil 
longer-nosed Rhinosciurus of Gray. It is, of course, quite natural 
that if the Tibetan S. perny? were represented in Tenasserim, it would 
be by a species living at the considerable altitudes at which alone 
S. rufigenis has been found. 
18. Scrurus BerpMoREI, Blyth. 
a,b. 9. Myawadi, 18 and 20/1/77. 
I cannot share the doubts expressed by Mr. Blanford’ as to the 
identity of these specimens with the true S. derdmorei. Although 
the markings differ in their intensity, their general plan and dispo- 
sition is precisely the same in the two forms represented by the 
names S. berdmorei and S. mouhoti, Gr. It has also a remarkably 
long and narrow muzzle, very nearly as much as in S. rufigenis, a 
point which has apparently never been noticed before. 
19. ScruRUS MACCLELLANDI BARBEI, Bly. 
a. &. 9/2/77 (Bingham). 6, e. Thoungyah, 11/10/78 (Dar- 
ling). d. Myawadi, 18/1/77. e. Kankaryit, 12/1/77. f-1. 
Tavoy, 3 and 4/78. j. Bankasun, 1/6/77. 
20. Mus RATTUS RUFESCENS, Gray. 
a. Moulmein, 8/3/78. 
The Mus robustulus of Blyth, as Mr. Blanford has suggested, is 
identical with this, the common Tree-rat of the whole of India. 
21. Rurzomys Baptius, Hodgs. 
a. Thatone. 
This seems to be the first recorded occurrence of R. badius in 
Tenasserim, though Blyth’s specimens of the so-called “ R. casta- 
neus’’ came from Arrakan and Pegu. 
22. ATHERURA MACRURA, L. 
a. Thoungyah, 3/10/78 (Darling). 
23. TRAGULUS NAPU, Raff. 
a-d. Bankasun, 5 and 6/77.
