present. Mask (which extends to crown), hands and feet creamj^ 

 white. No light liip patch. Tail with its basal foiTrth like the 

 bod}^, the remainder nniform ochraceons or bufFy, the ochraceons 

 exanaples becoming paler and more bufFy terminally. 



Dimensions of the type: — Head and body, 247 mm.; tail, 254; 

 hindfoot, 55 ; ear, 23. Skull:— Length, 58. 



Habitat. — Pyaungbyin, 40 mi. N. of Kindat, Upper Chindwin. 

 Ty^je. — Adnlt male. B. M. No. 15.5.5.136. Original nnmber 

 5,484. Collected 21st June 1914. Seven specimens. 



This subspecies resembles harinc/toni in the buffy or whitish 

 colour of its face, feet, and tail, though the last tends to be more 

 ochraceons, but is distinguished by its dark grey instead of whitish 

 general body colour. 



With this handsome and conspicuous squirrel we have much 

 pleasure in associating the name of our friend Mr. W. S. Millard, 

 Honorarj^ Secretar}^ of the Bombay Natural History Society, to 

 whose energy and generosity the success of the Society's Mammal 

 Survey is mainly due. 



6. Callosciurus sladeni sladerii, Anders. 

 (See plate fig, 6.) 

 General colour above grizzled olive grey, about as in millardi. 

 Undersurface deep ochraceons or ferruginous. Feet and mask 

 ochraceons, rarely buffy, the mask extending well up on to the 

 crown. Demarcational line present or absent. Proximal three- 

 foTwths of tail grizzled like back, the tip ferruginous. 



Habitat. — (On Chindwin) Kindat, 250'. T j^pe of bartoni from, the 

 Ujm River. 



The 40 Kindat specimens are very uniform in colour, mostly 

 quite like true sladeni, but in one the mask is buffy, as in G. s. 

 bartoni. Further material from other localities will be needed 

 before we can express a definite opinion about the last-named form. 

 7. Callosciurus sladeni rubex, Thos. 

 (See plate fig. 7.) 

 General colour above dark grizzled olive grey, washed on the 

 back with rich ferruginous, which very commonly extends to cover 

 the whole dorsal surface, and in one case the sides as well, so that 

 the whole animal is then uniformly red. Muzzle, feet, and end 

 of tail rich ferruginous. 



Habitat. — (On Chindwin.) Yin, 70 miles below Kindat, (24 

 specimens.) 



The Yin series presents great variation in the extent of the 

 rufous on the body, one specimen being almost without it while 

 another is practically wholly rufous, and thus resembles the Siamese 

 8. cinnamomeus. A trace of difference between the upper and 

 lower surfaces is however always perceptible, which is not the case 

 with cinnamomeus.
