This species approaches very nearly to the Sciiirus annu- 
latus of authors, but is distinguishable by its richer colouring. 
The general tint of Sc. annidatus might be described as yellow-

especially by the bright rust-like tint of the under side of the 
limbs, and the pale rust or rusty white colour of the belly. The 
heel is clothed with hair. 
Presented by Dr. Thomson to the British Museum.

“ The bright rust-coloured cheeks, combined with the pure 
white colour of the under parts of the body and inner side of the 
limbs, will serve to distinguish this species. The fur is rather 
short and moderately soft, and on the upper parts of the body 
the hairs are black, inclining to greyish at the base, and broadly 
annulated with rich rusty yellow at or near the point. A 
shortish longitudinal pale mark is observable on each side of the
