" Blanforcl states this squirrel is not found in forests, but in my experience 

 though partial to the neighbourhood of cultivation, it may like pennanti be 

 found far into the forests." — C.A.C.

We have now the approximate line of demarcation between these two 

 species {pennanti North and palmaruim South). Commencing from Surat 

 through Nimar, Berar to Hazaribagh, i.e., from about 28° N. on the West 

 Coast to 24"^ N. on the Ganges. 



" Common at Chainpur and well distributed throughout Hazaribagh where 

 however it overlaps with F. palmarum, the latter I think predominating. 

 At several places I shot both these squirrels on the same ground but did not 

 find them together in any one tree." — C.A.C.
