has towards the belly turned to blackish grey, and it does 

 not extend so high up on the hairs. 



The dorsal spöt is pure white, linear with an extent of 

 nearly 6 cm. The hairs are entirely white from tip to base 

 and measure about 40 — 45 mm. in length. 



On the upper neck the light rings of the hairs assume 

 a somewhat yellowish tinge, so that their colour resembles 

 »påle ecru» (Dauthenay, Rép. de Coul. 66). 



The upper part of the head is darker than the back, 

 blackish, sparsely grizzled or ticked, with whitish or putty 

 colour. Above the eye an undefined greyish white spöt. 

 Face and sides of head black grizzled with white, more 

 strongly so behind the corner of the mouth. Lips white. 

 Across the chin below the white lower lip a dark band of 

 the same colour as that of the cheeks, i. e, black and grizz- 

 led with white. The hairs of the inner side and the margin 

 of the ears white, on the outher side white with long black 

 tips. Whiskers black. 



The whole of the lower side from the dark band across 

 the chin (mentioned above) to anal region white, but on the 

 throat, före neck and breast the fur is basally dark slaty 

 grey, less so on the belly. But even in such places where 

 the fur mostly is dark basally, there are spöts, as f. i. be- 

 tween the före legs, where the hair is entirely white. 



Feet and toes covered with white-tipped, basally dark 

 brownish hairs.
