 Wallace. 



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

 of Mammals from Johore, says " Sciurus tenuis, Horsf. Fairly 

 common. The smallest of the Malayau squirrels." 



Ridley (Nat. Science, vol. vi. 1895, pp. 95 & 96) gives an account 

 of the habits of this squirrel, and says it is Aery abundant and 

 destructive in the Botanic Gardens, Singapore. Hanitsch ( Rep. 

 Raffles Libr. & Mus. 1897, p. 11) also records it from Singapore.

 says of it, "one of the most beautiful kinds in the world, is common 

 in the Malay Peninsula, but I never saw it in Singapore." 

 Hanitsch (Rep. Raffles Libr. & Mus. 1897, p. 11) records this 

 species from Kuala Lumpor and from Pahang. In July 1898 I 

 saw a specimen in the Raffles Museum labelled " Sciurus rafflesii.
