COLLIE’S SQUIRREL.

GENERAL REMARKS. 
This species is very nearly allied to Sciurus Aureogaster of F. Ctivier, 
and it is yet possible that it may prove a variety of that very variable 
species, in which the under parts of the body are sometimes white, instead 
of the usual deep-red colour. 
A specimen of S. Aureogaster in the Museum at Paris has the under 
parts of the body white, with small patches of red, and with a few scattered 
red hairs here and there mingled with the white ones.
