Singapore ; and makes some very interesting remarks on the color- 

 ation of this species. W. L. Sclater (Cat. Mamm. Indian Mus. 

 ii. 1891, p. 23) records specimens from Perak and Malacca. Ridley 

 (J. S. B. R. A. S. no. 25, Jan. 1894, p. 59), in a " List of Mammals 

 from Pahang," says : " Sciurus notatus, Bodcl. This is perhaps the 

 commonest of all the Malayan Squirrels. Common everywhere"' ; 

 and mentions its habits in Nat. Science, vol. vi. 1895, p. 95. 



H. J. Kelsall (J. S. B. B. A. S. no. 26, Jan. 1894, p. 16), in a list 

 of Mammals from Johore, says " Sciurus notatus, Bodd. This pretty 

 little squirrel is common everywhere." Hanitsch (Rep. Baffles 

 Libr. & Mus. 1897, p. 11) records this species from Singapore, 

 Johore, Kuala Lumpor, and Pahang. 



This is the commonest species both about Taiping, Perak, and 

 Kuala Lumpor, Selangor ; there are several specimens in the local 

 museums at both towns. It also seems the commonest species on 

 Penan g Hill : I obtained a specimen there at 2200 feet elevation. 



Distribution. Malay Peninsula (Penang, Perak, Dindings, 

 Selangor, Malacca, Pahang, Johore, Singapore), Sumatra, Java, 

 Borneo.

 Sciurus berdmorei, Blanf. Faun. Ind., Mamm. p. 387. 



During March 1897 I met this squirrel near Tahkamen, on the 

 Bangpakong River, Siam ; three specimens undoubtedly of this 

 species, one in the jungle, two near a village, were seen running 

 on the ground ; two others, apparently of this species, were seen 

 climbing in a clump of bamboo. 



In the Siamese Museum there were two specimens labelled 

 " M. Pran, Siam." 



Distribution. Martaban, Tenasserim, Mergui Archipelago, Siam, 

 Cambodia, Cochinchina. 



122. Funambulus laticaudatus (Diard). Long-nosed Squirrel. 



Sciurus laticaudatus, Cantor, p. 43. 



Rhinosciurus laticaudatus, W. L. Sclater, Cat. Mamm. Ind. Mus. 

 ii. 1891, p. 30. 



Cantor records this squirrel from the Malay Peninsula, gives a 

 description of it, and says it is " apparently not numerous " ; he 

 examined five individuals. O. Thomas (P. Z. S. 1886, p. 78) 

 records a specimen from Klang, Selangor. ~W. L. Sclater (Cat. 

 Mamm. Ind. Mus. ii. 1891, p. 30) records a specimen from the 

 Malay Peninsula procured by G. Moxon in 1851. Ridley 

 (J. S. B. B. A. S. no. 25, Jan. 1894, p. 59), in a " List of Mammals 

 recorded from Pahang," says " Sciurus laticaudatus, Diard. This 

 appears to be a rare species. Kota Glanggi." Hanitsch (Rep. 

 Raffles Libr. & Mus. 1897, p. 10) under the name of " Xerus 

 laticaudatus " records a specimen from Pahang, probably the same 

 as that mentioned by Ridley. A large pale rufous squirrel from 

 Simpang, Perak, in the Museum at Taiping is considered bv
