This form is characterised by its ochraceons colour, without 

 grizzling, the absence of grizzling and the almost wholly light tail 

 separating it from the previous subspecies, while its stronger and 

 more ochraceons tone distinguishes it from the nearlj'- white 

 /iari7igtoni.

Thus far, passing southwards, the body colour of these squirrels 

 has been getting lighter and lighter, but now, with the passage of 

 the river Uyu, the largest Eastern tributary of the Chindwin, an 

 abrupt change takes place, the body becoming quite dark, though 

 the mask, feet and tail remain light.
