the hair was almost white without brown tips. The face was provided 

 witli light-brown hair verging to white. The inter ramal space was 

 white; so also was the front of the neck. The same color extended over 

 the middle of chest. The rest of chest aud abdomen was of a light 

 shade of fawn, with ashy tips to the hair. The fur was slightly thin, 

 ner over the front of the trunk than at the sides. The side of the neck 

 was of the prevalent color of the back. On each side the lower part 

 was covered with white tips to the hair, thus simulating shoulder 

 tufts. 



No. 5206, ]Sr. M., from Cuba, showed the same coloration as above, 

 excepting that the crown was brown and the lateral stripes were scarcely 

 discernible. 



In the second example the color was the same as above, excepting tiie 

 fur was less white on the back. The crown was of a brown color and 

 the two lateral stripes were distinct. The region of the sacrum was 

 also brown in color. 



In specimen No. 13320 N. M., the fur was everywhere of a rich 

 sienna brown, and was unicolored. The lateral stripes on the head 

 were distinct. A small linear tnft extended from the base of the tragus 

 to the external canthus. A long fringe of hair laid in front of the 

 auricle. 



In a third individual a few sparsely distributed liairs were seen on 

 the venter of the antebrachium, a distinct row projecting over the free 

 margin. The dorsum of the forearm from near the elbow to the middle 

 was covered with a sparse growth of short hair, which was directed 

 downward and backward. The venter of the forearm exhibited a simi- 

 lar disposition; the hair was confined to the fleshy portion. The dor- 

 sum of the first metacarpal bone was occuitied by a few hairs. The dor- 

 sum of the endopataguim was covered with hair in the angle between 

 the lower border of the thorax and the arm near the elbow. On the 

 venter it extended as a thin layer from the lower end of the biceps to near 

 the upper third of the thigh. 



Prof. B. Gr. Wilder, of Cornell University, kindly sent me for examina- 

 tion a specimen, which bore a general resemblance to those from the Na- 

 tional Museum, No hair, however, was on the forearm or on the dorsum. 

 The hair over the ventral aspect of biceps muscle aud along the side of 

 the trunk to the pubis was much darker than elsewhere, and was of a 

 ashy brown color. On the dorsum of the head the color was white ; thus 

 the linear streaks were apparently lost. The chest and loin were of a 

 light brown at the tip, yellow brown in the middle, two-fourths and 

 plumbeous at the basal fourth. 



A second example from the same source showed the color to be a gen- 

 eral dark brown ; the stripes were well defined ; a white patch was seen 

 at the base of each auricle posteriorly; the back was provided with a 

 loug lustrous brown hair, unicolored for the most part, but showing 

 paler shafts over the scapulte. Below the fur was much darker than
