OoLDEN-BELUED Squirrel, Sciutus Sub-auratus.—Bachman, Mon. Genus Sciui-us, p. 12. DESCRIPTION. In the two specimens now before us, which arc very similar in size and markings, there is no appearance of the small anterior upper molar found in several other species of this genus. We conclude, therefore, that it either does not exist at all, or drops out at a veiy early period ; and accordingly set down this species as having only twenty teeth, viz.: . 8 <*—0 Incisive -; Canine —-; Molar 9 0—0 ' :20. The upper incisors are of moderate size ; their colour is deep orange brown ; the lower incisors are a little paler; head, of medium size ; ears short and pointed, clothed with hair on both surfaces, ''"he body seems more formed for sprightliness and agility than that of the small Caro- lina Squirrel, and in this respect comes nearest to tlie northern gray squir- rel. The tail is long, and nearly as broad as that of the last rianied Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Audubon, John James, 1785-1851; Bachman, John, 1790-1874.
