498 ZOOLOGICAL EESULTS OP THE EIJWENZOEI EXPEDITION. 



44. SCIUKUS RUFOBRACHIATUS SEMLI.KII Thos. 



d . 153. Fort Beni, Semliki Valley. 3000 ft. 



Most closely allied to S. r. Qiyansce Neum., with which it agrees in the extent of the 

 rufous on the limbs, but distinguished by the speckling of the back being very much 

 finer and by having the general colour greyer. In 8. r. nyansce there is a strong suffusion 

 of huffy or fulvous in the dorsal colour, the rings of the longer hairs and the ends of the 

 wool-hairs being markedly tinged with buffy ; in 8. r. semliJcii, on the other hand, the 

 former are almost white and the latter are dull greyish-buff. As a result the general 

 tone of 8. r. semliJcii is a nearly pure dark grey, between grey no. 6 and " smoke-grey " 

 of Ridgway, the middle line of the back only with slight yellowish suffusion. 



Dimensions of the type (measured in the flesh) : — 



Head and body 225 mm. ; tail 251 ; hind foot 49 ; ear 16. 



Hah. Fort Beni, Semliki Valley. 3000 ft. 



Type. Adult male. B.M. no. 6.12.4.64. Original number 153. Collected 22nd 

 July, 1906, by Mr. E. E. Dent. 



This handsome Squirrel is no doubt nearly allied to 8. r. nyansm, but in the very 

 fine speckling of the body and greyer colour shows a relationship to the form found 

 in Gaboon, to which the name of 8. r. auhryi M.-Edw. is applicable. The latter, 

 however, has not the richly coloured rufous feet characteristic of both the Central 

 African subspecies.

 gigantic example of F. poensis.
