are black and bare, the latter smooth, the former slightly rough 
and granular. ‘The eyes are rather large, the irides very dark 
brown, and the pupils vertical, sometimes linear, sometimes 
oval. ‘The ears are about four inches apart, pointed, usually 
erect, moderately long, and covered outside with a little fine 
reddish-white down, inside with the same, and the meatus audi- 
torius extimus partially crossed by a tuft of white hair, which 
descends from the inside of the superior margin of the external 
ear. 
The chin and sides of the under lip are blackish ; the begin- 
ning of the throat a deep black ; and these two hues are separated 
from each other, more or less completely, by a transverse oblique 
band or white blotch. On the forehead, immediately over the 
inner angle of each eye, are a few particularly long black hairs, 
and some similar ones are observed about two inches behind the 
organs just mentioned, only, however, rather a little below their 
level. The latter issue from a thimble-like cavity formed by 
the shorter hairs receding from each other, and another and a 
similar appearance, nay even if any thing more distinct, occurs 
about an inch behind the corner of the mouth, from which also 
protrudes a small number of like black stiff hairs. ‘The whiskers 
are long, very strong, black, and disposed in three or four rows 
on the sides of the upper lip a little behind the nostrils. The 
hair on the neck and body is very long and shaggy, measuring 
in many places, but particulary about. the sides and back, at 
least six inches. On the parts of the neck, from the 
temples to the anterior f the shoulders, the whole is of a 
dirty tawny-white or dic vale, which, with a little more 
white, is nearly the colour of the breast, belly, and insides of 
the extremities. Along the upper part of the neck, commencing 
at the forehead, the hairs are rather longer than on the sides, 
and of a tawny-white colour, slightly varied, however, by a
