therefore this character cannot be vnerely a sign of the rutting- 

 season, as I had originally suspected. 



17. SciURUs RUFiGENis, Blanf. 



a. 5500', b. 6300', Mt. Mooleyit, 1/2/77 and 31/1/77 (Co- 

 types of species). 

 I have nothing to add to Mr. Blanford's excellent description of 

 this species. There can be no doubt that it is, as he suggests, nearly 

 allied to >S. pernyi, M.-Edw., but it may easily be distinguished by 

 its brilliant red cheeks, that species having them grey like the back. 

 The unusual length of the muzzle is equally found in both, and 

 together they seem to lead from the ordinary Squirrels towards the still 

 longer-nosed Rhinosciuriis of Gray. It is, of course, quite natural 

 that if the Tibetan iS. jieivvji were represented in Tenasserim, it would 

 be by a species living at the considerable altitudes at which alone 

 S. rufigenis has been found. 



18. SCIURUS BERDMOREI, Blyth. 



a, 6. $ . Myawadi, 18 and 20/1177. 

 I cannot share the doubts expressed by Mr. Blanford^ as to the 

 identity of these specimens with the true S. berdmorei. Although 

 the markings differ in their intensity, their general plan and dispo- 

 sition is precisely the same in the two forms represented by the 

 names iS. berdmorei and S. mouhoti, Gr. It has also a remarkably 

 long and narrow muzzle, very nearly as much as in S. ritjigenifs, a 

 point which has apparently never been noticed before. 



19. SciURUS MACCLELLANDI BARBEI, Bly. 



a. c?. 9/2/77 {Bingham), b, c. Thoungyah, 11/10/78 (Dar- 

 ling), d. Myawadi, 18/1/77. e, Kankaryit, 12/1/77. f-i. 

 Tavoy, 3 and 4/78. j. Bankasun, 1/(5/77. 



20. Mus RATTus RUFESCENS, Gray. 



a. Moulmein, 8/3/78. 

 The Mus robustulus of Blyth, as Mr. Blanford has suggested, is 

 identical with this, the common Tree-rat of the whole of India. 



21. Rhizomys radius, Hodgs. 

 a. Thatone. 



This seems to be the first recorded occurrence of R. badius in 

 Tenasserim, though Blyth's specimens of the so-called " R. casta- 

 neus" came from Arrakan and Pegu. 



22. Atherura macrura, L. 



a. Thoungyah, 3/10/78 {Barling). 



23. Tragulus napu. Raff. 

 a-d. Bankasun, .5 and 6/77.
