 I published recently in this Journal (Vol. XX, p. 1012) a paper on the 

 Oriental Fljang Squirrels. I there felt obliged to merge the name oral in 

 the synonymy of philippensis. The present specimens show that it is 

 necessary to revive the former name. The proportions of these specimens 

 are almost exactly those recorded by Tickeli in the original description of 

 his Singhboom specimen, and are markedly smaller than that of any other 

 known species south of the Ganges. Otherwise these specimens do not 

 quite agree with the description of oral. It seems to me best, however, to 

 list it provisionally as oral until we have a topotype with which to com- 

 pare it.
