wards, and there meeting the hairs of the neck, which have the points directed forwards, a small tuft is
formed at their point of junction on the back of the head. The general tint of the animal is brown,
slightly inclining to greyish brown on the back; the sides of the body are of a cea brighter colour,
being slightly tinted with yellowish ; the whole of the under parts, as well as the fore-legs and feet, are of
a dirty yellowish white; the hind-legs are of the same tint externally as the sides of the body, but paler on
their inner sides; the tarsi are of a uniform pale brown. ‘The ears are rather small, rounded at the tip,
and clothed externally with short and almost velvet-like black hairs; internally the hairs are few in number
and of a greyish hue; the tail is well clothed with short and soft hairs, brown on the upper surface, and
brownish white beneath ; on the sides of the tail the hairs, instead of pointing backwards as usual, are
directed upwards; the tip of the tail is almost destitute of hair (apparently worn off by friction), and
exhibits the scales very distinctly. The head is of a pale brown colour, and the muffle is naked.
