muzzle blackish in front of the eye; from the occiput two conspicuous white marks run backward, and
diverging, pass one on each side over the shoulder, and recurve at a short distance behind the insertion
of the fore-leg ; the space between these lines is black on the occiput, and brownish black on the back of the
neck; sides of the neck suffused with pale ochreous yellow; tarsi and arms nearly white ; hands and toes
dusky, but most of the hairs round the nails of the former white ; tail coloured like the body at the base,
but black along the upper surface of the apical third, and at the point where the hairs being longer than
elsewhere, hide a small horny tubercle with which the tail is terminated; under surface of the tail dirty
yellowish white.

The female is not distinguished by any difference in marking ; the stripes are quite as intense as in the
male, and are even apparent in the foetus.

Considerable variation occurs in the weight of individuals, and particularly in the size and weight of the
sexes, fully adult males weighing from ten to twelve pounds, while the females do not exceed four or six.

The following are the admeasurements of the largest specimens I have seen ; ordinarily they are about
one-fifth smaller :—
