S 7, $ 13, Yin. 1 specimen (4212) collected at Yin by G. W. 

 Dawson, I.C.S., and recorded in Report No. 16. 

 This is a local race of onelanopepla, perhaps most easily distinguished 

 from Gigantea by the fact that the yellow colouring of the fore limbs 

 appears also as a band across the front of the forearm. 



" Apparently a very local race, occurring on the East bank of the Lower 

 Chindwin, around Yin village, where it is very plentiful, in low deciduous 

 forest."— G. 0. S.

Mr. Thomas has recently (A.M.N.H. (8), XV., p. 383, 1915) pointed out 

 that, judging by the form of the "baculum," the generic -asime Sciurus must 

 be restricted, and disappears entirely from the fauna of India. I adopt 

 here the generic names substituted by him (1. c.) 



This is probably the Manipur form. The type locality is Sadiya, Assam. 

 The general colouring is an olive grey and buff grizzle above and red below. 

 The tail is also grizzled at the base but the terminal half is Jet black. It 

 differs from the following races by its sombre coloration. All these forms of 

 erythroeus are found only on the West bank of the River, the present one 

 about the middle at Homalin and Tamanthe.

The North Chindicin Squirrel.

 Characterised by its pale tail-tip. It is found only at the extreme north 

 end of the River about Hkamti.
