SOME NOTES ON SCIURUS FINLAYSONI, AND 

 OTHER SQUIRRELS OF SIAM. 



By C. Boden Kloss, F. Z. S. 



Through the kindness of Dr. Malcohn Smith I liave recently 

 received from Lopburi, two fresh spirit specimens of tlie " white 

 squirrel of Siam {Sciurv,s Jl lUaj/soni Jhdaysoni, Horsfield). 



As our knowledge of this species is very slight and is based 

 mainly on old and badly- prepared specimens I have taken the following 

 measurements of these two examples and, in order that the difference 

 in size between them and my recently described Scmriis jinlai/soni 

 portm from Koli Si Chang may be seen at a glance, have placed in a 

 third column the mm-imuvi dimensions from the table of measurements 

 accompanying my account of that small island race.^ 



A large series of the mainland animal would doubtless show 

 much greater differences than are evident here, but even with the 

 present material these are sufficiently distinct.
