t Sciurus maximus, Temminck. Peculiar to S. E, Asia and its archipelago, 
as far east as Borneo and Java ; or having nearly the same (though not quite 
so extensive a) range as restricted Pteromys. Like that genus, exhibiting per- 
manent varieties of colouring, each peculiar to a certain range of distribution ; 
and in some instances the size is more or less reduced, e. g. Sc. hypoleucos 
and Sc. albipes. It is difficult to conceive of the whole series as other than 
permanent varieties of one species ; and the same remark appHes to the races of 
Pteromys, and to at least some of those of Sciuroptekus, as also to various 
named Sciuri.
