and consequent greater extent of yellow upon the crown : upper-parts 

 bright yellowish-green (rather than greenish-yellow), becoming more yel- 

 lowish on the rump and upper tail-coverts : crown, neck (below the black 

 occipital band), and entire under-parts, intense pure yellow : inner webs 



with the Khasya hills, and those of Arakan : but the few specimens we have seen 

 from the Arakan mountains seem to be smaller, and of a weaker ferruginous on the 

 under-parts ; perhaps a distinct race, but we have not the requisite data to form an 

 opinion on the subject. 



14. Sc. tenuis, Horsfield. A Malayan species affined to the last, but consi- 

 derably smaller, with the under-parts having but a very faint wash of ferruginous, 

 while a stronger tinge of this hue appears on the shoulders and outside of the 

 limbs ; tail coloured as in Sc. lukriah, but the black and white margins (as seen 

 from behind) are hardly so conspicuous. We suspect that it is confined to a certain 

 elevation in the Malayan peninsula and neighbouring great islands. 



15. Sc. modestus, S. Muller : Sc. affinis, Raffles, apud Horsfield, Zool. Res. 

 in Java ; nee Sc. affinis (verus), as described by Sir Stamford Raffles, Lin. TV. XIII, 

 259, which description refers distinctly to the pale variety of Sc. bicolor. : 

 assigned dubiously by Dr. Cantor as a synonyme of Sc. tenuis. Apparently 

 very like the last, but larger, with the rufous more developed on the outside of the 

 limbs and along the flanks " Length 9 in., and tail 7 in." (Horsfield). Inhabits 

 the Malayan peninsula, and has been met with on the island of Pulo Penang. We 

 have seen no specimen. 



16. Sc. Phayrei, nobis, n. s. ; Sc. pygerythrus, var., apud nos, J. A. S. 

 XVII, 345. A beautiful species, of the size of Sc. vittatus, and nearly of the 

 same colouring above, but the fur longer, and the tail much more bushy, with a 

 well-defined black tip. Lower-parts bright ferruginous, inclining to maronne on 

 the belly, and continued broadly along the under or hind surface of the tail to its 

 black tip : inside of limbs ferruginous, continued nearly round the hind-limbs, and 

 upon all the feet ; the fore-limbs tinged with dusky externally, above the pale 

 rufous foot; and a broad imperfectly defined blackish baud upon the flanks, separ- 

 ating the colours of the back and belly. Length 9 or 10 in. ; and tail with hair 

 about the same : hind-foot 1| in. From some part of the Tenasserim provinces. 

 Presented by Major Phayre. 



17. Sc. vittatus, Raffles: Sc. bivittatns, Desmarest. This very common 

 Malayan species does not appear to extend northward into the Tenasserim pro- 

 vinces. It is readily distinguished by its two lateral bands, the upper white and 

 lower black, with deep rufous under-parts and tail-tip. 



18. S. nigrovittatus, Horsfield : Sc. yriseoventer, Is. Geoffroy. Differs 

 from the last by having the belly ash-grey, no rufous at tip of tail, but a ferru- 

 ginous tinge on the sides of the head and neck : its upper lateral band is also 

 fulvous, rather than white. Inhabits the Malayan peninsula, where much less 

 common than Sc. vittatus.
