A NEW SQUIRREL FROM NORTH SARAWAK. 
7.9, 7.6; median nasal length, 11.2, 10.4; interorbital breadth, 14.5, 
14.8 ; zygomatic breadth, 25.7, 24.7 nun. 
Specimens examined. Two, an adult female with slightly worn 
teeth from Long Mujan, about 150 miles up the Baram River, 
North Sarawak, about 700-900 ft., and a young adult without any 
details but probably from the same locality. I have selected the 
former for the type — though the tail and skull are imperfect — as 
it is a fully adult animal and has a precise locality. 
Remarks. Though Mr. Thomas described Glyph otes simus as 
having indistinct whitish postauricular patches while Sciurus adamsi 
has very distinct buff ones I cannot think that the two are one 
species, though otherwise the general colour scheme is the same. 
The only possibility of the three specimens being of the same species 
is that Glyphotes simus has been described from an extremely 
juvenile individual: but Thomas states that the type is an adult. 
At Major Moulton’s request I have named this squirrel in 
honour of Mr. C. D. Adams, District Officer, Baram, to whom 
Major Moulton was indebted for exceptional facilities accorded to 
him during his expedition in that district. 
The type and paratype are, for the present, in the Raffles 
Museum, Singapore, and the Selangor Museum, F. M. S. respec- 
tively.
