76 MR. O. THOMAS ON THE MAMMALS OF [Jail. 10, 



20. SCIURUS CANICEPS CONCOLOR, Bly. 



a to g. Kussooni, Taroar, Poongah, and Salaiiga, Juukceyloii 

 {Darling) . 

 This very uniform series has already heeii referred to in the 

 Tenasserim list {supra p. 70). 



21. SciTjRUS HiPPURUS, Geof. 



a-c. Klang, 2, 3, and 4/79. 

 This species seems to be the Malay representation of S^. erythrceus, 

 Pall., which does not, however, extend further south than Manipur, 

 while Klang seems to be about as far north as S. hippurus has been 

 found. 



[SciURUs ATRODORSALis, Gray. 

 a. cJ. Klang, 5/77. 



There is possibly some mistake in the labelling of this specimen, 

 as the species is not otherwise known to occur south of Tavoy, 

 Tenasserim, and the specimen exactly matches some of Mr. Davison's 

 Moulmein skins.] 



22. SciURUS TENUIS, Horsf. 



a-d. Salangore, 11/79 and 1/80 (Syers). e-g. Klang. h. 



Ulu Langhat, Salangore, 6/4/79. i. Malacca, j. Gunnong 



Pulai, Johore, 3/3/80. k. Singapore, 10/2/79. 



These specimens are all very similar and precisely agree with 



Horsfield's type. This species has six mammae, one lateral and 



two inguinal pairs. 



23. SciURUS PREVOSTI, Dcsm, 



a. Salangore, 5/11/79 (Shyers), b-j. Klang, Salaugore, 2-4/79 

 {Davison), k, I. Malacca, 9/75. 



24. SciURUS BADGiNG, Kerr'. 



a. Lumut, Ding-ding Islands, 24/2/79. b-d. Jerome, Salan- 

 gore, 12 and 14/8/79. e-o. Klang, Salangore, 2, 3, and 7/79. 

 p, q. Birman, Salangore, 28/7/79 {Sgers). r. Salangore, 

 24/11/79 {Sgers). s, t. Malacca, 9/75. u-d . Gunnong 

 Pulai, Johore, 7-9/79 and 3/80. b' , c . Singapore, 2/79. 

 d , Acheen, Sumatra, 1/2/73. 

 By the help of this magnificent addition to the Museum series 

 one is able to prove the specific identity of the Squirrels to which the 

 names of S. badging { = S. plantani), S. vittatus. Raff., and <S'. 

 nigrovittatus, Horsf., have been given. 



On laying out our series geographically, one is struck at once by 



1 Linn. Anim. Kingd. p. 269, 1792. I regret to have to use tbis barbarous 

 name for the well-known Plantain Squirrel {S. plantani, Ljung, 1801) ; but 

 the evidence is too clear to be disputed. Both Ljung and Kerr founded their 

 names on the "Plantain Squirrel" of Pennant, and therefore the identifica- 

 tion that has always been admitted for the one must unfortunately apply 

 equally to the other.
