two formerly described, having the under-parts much lighter ferrugi- 

 nous than in the one, and considerably darker than in the other. 



5. Sc. Berdmorei, nobis, n. s. Nearly one half larger than Sc. paU 

 marum : the prevalent colour grizzled black and golden fulvous, with an 

 obscure pale central dorsal streak, flanked by a blackish band : this 

 again by a conspicuous yellowish-white line from the shoulder to the 

 croup ; then blackish again, with a second lateral whitish band ; below 

 again dusky ; and the under-parts yellowish-white, passing to ferrugi- 

 nous towards the vent and underneath the tail. Head tinged with 

 ferruginous : and from what remains of the base of the tail in the speci- 

 men, this would seem to resemble in colouring that of Sc. Layardi. 

 Length of hind-foot from heel to tip of claws If in. Rodential tusks 

 deep orange-brown. This species, according to information received 

 from Mr. D. F. Lonsdale, inhabits the Thoungyeen district. 



6. Sc. Barbei, nobis (XVI, 875). Common in Mergui. 



There are no Sciuri more difficult to understand than the group 

 exemplified by Sc. modestus, Muller, Sc. lokriah and Sc. lokroides, 

 Hodgson, Sc. griseopectus, nobis (XVI, 873), and of which Sc. chry- 

 sonotus is one of the species best distinguished from the rest. Three 

 specimens lately purchased with a collection formed at Darjiling, differ 

 from all other examples of Sc. lokroides which I had previously see 11 

 from that and other localities, in having the thighs externally of a 

 bright ferruginous colour : in other respects they are quite similar to 

 ordinary individuals of the species. 



N. B. The specimen presented by the Batavian Society and describ- 

 ed as Sc. javensis, Schreber, var., in J. A. S. XVI, 871, is Sc 

 ephippium, Muller, from Borneo.
