76 MR. 0. THOMAS ON THE MAMMALS OF [Jan. 19, 
20. SciuRUS CANICEPS CONCOLOR, Bly. 
a to g. Kussoom, Taroar, Poongah, and Salanga, Junkceylon 
(Darling). 
This very uniform series has already been referred to in the 
Tenasserim list (supra p. 70). 
21. Scrurus uippruRus, Geof. 
a-c. Klang, 2, 3, and 4/79. 
This species seems to be the Malay representation of S. erythreus, 
Pall., which does not, however, extend further south than Manipur, 
while Klang seems to be about as far north as S. hippurus has been 
found. 
[Scrurvus ATRODORSALIS, Gray. 
a. 3. Klang, 5/77. 
There is possibly some mistake in the labelling of this specimen, 
as the species is not otherwise known to occur south of Tavoy, 
Tenasserim, and the specimen exactly matches some of Mr. Davison’s 
Moulmein skins. | 
22. Scrurvus TENuIs, Horsf. 
a-d. Salangore, 11/79 and 1/80 (Syers). e-g. Klang. A. 
Ulu Langhat, Salangore, 6/4/79. 7%. Malacca. j. Gunnong 
Pulai, Johore, 3/3/80. &. Singapore, 10/2/79. 
These specimens are all very similar and precisely agree with 
Horsfield’s type. This species has six mamme, one lateral and 
two inguinal pairs. 
23. Scrurus PREvostT!, Desm. 
a. Salangore, 5/11/79 (Syers). 6-7. Klang, Salangore, 2—-4/79 
(Davison). &, 1. Malacea, 9/75. 
24. Scrurus BApcInG, Kerr’. 
a. Lumut, Ding-ding Islands, 24/2/79. &-d. Jerome, Salan- 
gore, 12 and 14/8/79. e-o. Klang, Salangore, 2, 3, and 7/79. 
Ps Birman, Salangore, 28/7/79 (Syers). 7. Salangore, 
24/11/79 (Syers). 8, t. Malacea, 9/75. u-a’. Gunnong 
Pulai, Johore, 7-9/79 and 3/80. 46’, c'. Singapore, 2/79. 
d', Acheen, Sumatra, 1/2/73. 
By the help of this magnificent addition to the Museum series 
one is able to prove the specific identity of the Squirrels to which the 
names of S. badging (=S. plantam), S. vittatus, Raff., and S. 
nigrovittatus, Horst., have been given. 
On laying out our series geographically, one is struck at once by 
1 Linn. Anim. Kined. p. 269, 1792. Iregret to have to use this barbarous 
name for the well-known Plantain Squirrel (S. plantani, Liung, 1801); but 
the evidence is too clear to be disputed. Both Ljung and Kerr founded their 
names on the “Plantain Squirrel” of Pennant, and therefore the identifica- 
tion that has always been admitted for the one must unfortunately apply 
equally to the other.
