But as the specimen was clearly adult (‘ scrotwm magnum”) it 
could not have been a young Petaurista nitida, and we can only 
suppose that there was some error of observation in the matter of 
the antebrachial membrane. 
S. sagitta is a Hylopetes nearly allied to S, awrantiacus, spadiceus, 
and everett.

“ Sciuropterus and Petaurista are nocturnal, while all the other 
Javanese Squirrels seem to be diurnal. 
‘<8. sagitta chiefly occurs among cocoanut-plantations, and either 
makes its nest in an empty cocoanut or among leaves at the top of 
a palm.”—-G. C.S8.

“ Very abundant among cocoanut-plantations in low-lying 
country. In the mountainous and uncultivated localities its place 
is taken by Sciwrus nigrovittatus. Although feeding on most 
fruits, it seems to be especially partial to the cocoanut-palm, to 
which it is very destructive. When feeding on a cocoanut it 
bores a circular hole in one side of the shell. Natives frequently 
fasten a piece of sheet tin around the trunks of the palms about 
halfway up, as the tin offering no foothold prevents the squirrels 
from ascending to the fruit.”—G. C.8.
