Two specimens have been examined ; one a very beautiful skin belong-

 thern Tenasserim, the other a perfect male in spirit obtained by Mr. Lim- 

 borg west of Moulmain. Both appear fully adult. 



ScirErs EUFiGEifis, sp. nov. 



This squirrel is of medium size, the body being nearly equal in length 

 to IS. caniceps and S. atridorsalis, but the tail is much shorter, its length, 

 without including the hairs at the end, being considerably less than that of 

 the head and body. Fur soft throughout, hairs on the tail distinctly disti- 

 chous. 



Upper parts dark olive, grizzled or punctulated, cheeks ferruginous, 

 whiskers black, ears thinly clad, not tufted, a small patch of silky white hairs 

 behind each ear, often concealed by the ear conch, lower parts white, tail 

 hoary above, chestnut below, the hairs above being black with a white -ring 

 near the base and a white tip, and ferruginous below, tipped black and 

 white. Throat and chin someticaes slightly marked with rufous. Nose to 

 insertion of tail 8, tail without terminal hairs 6, hind foot 1-8, ear from 

 orifice 0*8. The dimensions were taken by Mr. Davison before skinning. 



The skull, which has a peculiarly elongate nose, much longer and 

 narrower than in the other Tenasserim squirrels, is 2*07 inches long and 1*2 

 broad across the zygomatic arches. 



This species has only been obtained on the slopes of Muleyit, a lofty 

 mountain about 60 miles west of Moulmain. Four skins were collected 

 by Mr. Davison and one by Mr. Limborg. All were procured in dense 

 forest, at an elevation of above 5000 feet.
