SCIURUS INSIGNIS. 



to the tip of the nose, it measures seven inches and a half, and the tail is as long as 

 the body and neck together. 



The Bokkol is a rare animal in Java. I met with it once only in the forests of 

 Blambangan, in the year 1806, and a drawing of it was then prepared. The 

 specimen, which was collected at the same period, has been deposited in the Museum 

 of the Honourable East India Company, and has been before me in arranging the 

 preceding description. The Drawing of the figure which illustrates this article, 

 was already in the hands of the engraver when the 34th Number of M. Fred Cuvier's 

 Mammiferes Lithographisees reached this country. He has given the name used by 

 the natives of Sumatra ; and his specific name, by which it will be introduced into 

 the systems, is placed at the head of this article. It may be presumed to be a 

 rare animal in Sumatra as weU as in Java, as it is not contained in the Catalogue 

 of a Zoological Collection of Sk Stamford Raffles, printed in the Thirteenth Volume 

 of the Transactions of the Linnean Society.
