BONHOTE, B.A. This group of laterally lineated squirrels is one in which considerable confusion exists. The confusion has been augmented by the existence of two forms, the one having red or yellow underparts, and the other grey undcrparts ; they are Ircqnently found in the same localities, and have generally been regarded as dimorphic forms of a single species. The name *S'. notatits, which was applied by Boddaert in his ' Elenchus Animalium ' to Pennant's description of the " Plantane Squirrel," has to be restricted to a small and light-coloured species inhabiting Java and Sumatra, llaffles's name S. vittatus belongs to a very variable species found in Sumatra, the JMalay Peninsula, and Borneo ; while to the form with gvey under j)arts, hitherto considered specitically identical with the above, and which is found in Java, Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, and Borneo, Horsfield's name of S. nigro-vittatus should be applied. The following is a list of the species and subspecies of this group :— I lab. Sciurus notatus typicus . . Java. â– albescens . . . Aeheen, Sumatra. vittatus typicus . . . Sumatra and Malay Peninsula. fenuirostris . . Tioman Island, off Malay Peninsuhi. anambensis . . Anambas Islands. Ahbotti . . . Big Tambelan Island, South China Sea. dulitensis . . . Borneo.
