282 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS [voL. 48 
Remarks.—Dr. Abbott’s specimens, while differing in some re- 
spects from Bonhote’s original description of albescens, are from too 
near the type locality to be considered anything else, at least until an 
actual comparison with the type has been made. The Aru Bay 
skins have less white on the underparts and lateral line than the 
majority of those from Loh Sidoh Bay, but two of the latter are 
exact matches for the Aru Bay specimens. The type of Sciurus 
albescens is said to have white hairs in the pelage above, but there 
are practically none in any of Dr. Abbott’s specimens.
