This species will probably turn out to be identical with Sciurus 

 syriacus of Ehrenberg, and has in fact been already considered so 

 by Jentink ; the types, however, have not been compared, as the 

 only specimen of S. fulvus is the one now in the Museum here, 

 so that for the present it has been left as a distinct species.
