The skulls of these specimens agree completely with the 

 descriptions by various authors. A slender, but complete 

 zygomatic arch is present. No trace of a tail can be dis- 

 cerned on the dry specimens. 



The following measurements have been noted, since it 

 had been ascertained that radius was quite complete even in 

 its proximal parts: 



Length of forearm from the proximal end of the naked 

 radius 34,3 mm (not quite 35 mm. when radius is included 

 in skin). 



Length of thumb with claw 9 mm

Especially the first of these measurements differs from 

 the one recorded in Peters' original description^ viz. 41 mm. 

 This cannot be any mistake or misprint as Dobson after- 

 wards measured the type specimen in the Paris Museum and 

 obtained a similar result.^ Låter he received another speci- 

 men from Popagan, New Grenada, and this one had the 

 same length of the forearm. ^ As both the present specimens 

 are fully adult and agree inter se with regard to their dimen- 

 sions, it is evident that they represent a smaller race with 

 a considerably shorter forearm only about 86 or 87 % of
