T?/pe.—Adtilt female. B. M. No. 14.6.18.1. Original number 3. 

 Collected 24tli March 1911 and presented by C. S. Barton, Esq. 



By its buffy points and its dark demarcational line this striking 

 form gives an indication of the essential relationship to each other 

 of Sciurus haringtoni and sladeni, w^idely as they seem at first sight 

 to differ from each other. 



Sciwrus haringtoni haringtoni, Thos. 



General colour creamy buff, whiter on sides. Under-surface warm 

 buff. A. well marked narrow black line separating the colours of 

 upper and under-surfaces ; this line crosses the forearms and ankles. 

 Muzzle, feet and tail pale cream-buff. 



Locality. — Moungkan, Upper Chindwin (Harington). 



Sciicrus haringtoni sohdus, subsp. n. 



Like true haringtoni except that the feet and belly are a warmer 

 buff (rather richer than ochraceous buff' of Eidgway) and that there 

 is no trace of a demarcational dark line on sides and across limbs. 

 Back of ankles more or less buffy where the dark line crosses them 

 in haringtoni. 



Hindfoot of type, 63 mm. 



Locality. — Homalin, Upper Chindwin (Harington). 



Type. — Adult male. B. M. No. 5.8.11.2. Collected 2nd January 

 1905 and presented by Major H. H. Harington. 



Even when first describing it I was doubtful if both the speci- 

 mens of 8. haringtoni could properly be assigned to a single sub- 

 species, and now that I have seen something of the variations of 

 the other members of the group, I am convinced that the form with 

 the demarcational line should be separated from that without. In 

 their general appearance, however, the two forms bear a striking- 

 resemblance to each other. 



A NEW LLGQADILLA FROM KUMAON. 



BY Oldfield Thomas. 



Leggadilla gurhha, sp. n. 



Closely similar in general appearance to L. sadhu Wr., agreeing 

 with that animal in both size and colour. But the fur is longer 

 and softer, the flattened hairs being scarcely spinous at all, and, in 

 the skull, the posterior palatal opening is less contracted, and m' 

 is of more normal shape, its anterior lobe less long and narrow ; 

 its accessory anterior cusp is however equally well developed.
