There remains one more i^quirrel, IS. jloicerl, Bonliote,^ known 

 from a, single specimen from Klong Morn near Bangkok. Though the 

 author states that it is aduU, the skull is smaller ( greatest length 

 ■iA mm.) than the island viic^:i oH jialai/soiii : in colour, however, the 

 specimen appears to resemble animals which have been classed as 

 hocoarti. Until we know more about it, it is impossible to say whether 

 it is a good form and, if S(j, what its relationships are."'

5. If any ineinher of the Societj' would help to clear up this question 

 by collecting squirrels in tlie neigbourhood of Bangkok I should welcome the 

 o()portunity of exanuiung them. Specimens are most easily preserved in 

 methylated spirits or a five per cent, solution of formalin. They should be 

 opened up along the underside of the body, gutted and waslied before 

 immersion.
