Abstract
Immunological studies of the Sciuridae using quantitative micros complement fixation indicate that the ground squirrel and chipmunk lineages diverged from tree squirrels during the early Oligocene. Chipmunks and ground squirrels diverged during the early Miocene. Radiation within the ground squirrel lineage appears to have taken place during the early and middle Miocene. These findings are, for the most part, consistent with fossil, karyotypic and other biochemical data.
