Fig. 29. An African Flying Squirrel (Ariomalurus). The characteristic 

 scales on the under-surface of the tail cannot be seen in this specimen, 

 but the bony structure projecting from the elbow, which helps to support 

 the parachute, is well shown. With this figure should be compared 

 that of the Flying Phalanger (Fig. 33). Though not nearly related the 

 animals show a superficial resemblance to one another. (From a specimen 

 in the Royal Scottish Museum).
