78 ON THE MAMMALS OF THE HUME COLLECTION. [Jan. 19, 
north of Pinang, although in his list of the magnificent series in the 
Leyden Museum, Dr. Jentink mentions one specimen from Canton? 
and two from Nepal’, but my reasons for doubting the testimony of 
these are in the subjoined footnote. 
S. badging possesses four inguinal mamme only. 
25. Scrurus rnsiGnis, F. Cuy. 
a. Klang, Salangore. 6. Salangore (Syers), 18/11/79. ce. Jaffaria, 
Johore, 20/3/80. 
This species, like 8. berdmorei, has six mamme, viz. :—one lateral 
and two inguinal pairs. 
26. Scrurus (Ruinoscrurus) LATIcCAUDATUS, Mill. & Schl. 
a. 9. Klang, Salangore, 5/5/79. 
This seems to be the most northern locality as yet recorded for 
the Long-nosed Squirrel. 
27. CHIROPODOMYs GLIROIDES, Bly. (?). 
a. Jaram, Salangore, 23/12/79 (Darling). 
This specimen belongs to the rare and interesting genus Chiro- 
podomys, described by Peters in 1868 °*, but afterwards* erroneously 
identified by him with Pithecochirus, F. Cuv.°, a very different and 
much larger animal. The specific name, however, to be applied to 
this specimen is a matter of some doubt. Blyth’s description of 
Mus gliroides from the Khasia hills *, based on a specimen with an 
imperfect tail, seems to agree very closely with the present animal, 
and his Mus peguensis’ is also possibly the same thing; but 
unfortunately we have no evidence as to whether C. penicillatus, as 
it was called by Peters, ascends as far north as Assam or Pegu, or is 
a purely Malay species, and pending an examination of Blyth’s type, 
it is therefore difficult to decide what its proper specific name 
should be. 
So far as I know, the only examples of this genus that have as 
yet come to Europe are two specimens in the Museum collection 
obtained by Mr. Wallace at Sadong, Borneo; Peters’s type in the 
Berlin Museum, unfortunately without locality ; two spirit-specimens 
1 Tt is suspicious that two Squirrels so peculiarly characteristic of the Malay 
region as S. ¢enwisand S. badging should have been referred by Miller and Schlegel 
to Canton (ef. Jentink, ‘Notes Mus. Leyd.’ 1883, pp. 126 and 134). Probably 
they were deceived as to the locality of the collection containing the specimens, 
* The great mass of Mr. Hodgson’s Nepal collection is in the Natural History 
Museum, a few duplicates merely having been given to the Leyden and other 
Museums, and it is therefore unlikely that if he really obtained this species in 
Nepal, no specimens should be in our National Museum, and no reference to it 
made in his published lists of Nepal mammals.
