 some specimens with a distinct wash of russet ; concealed base of 

 fur darker vandyck-brown, sometimes approaching seal-brown : tips 

 of hairs paler, sometimes tinged with bnflTy. Bump similar to

 sometimes partly exposed. — Entire underside much paler than back, 

 approaching raw umber or tawny olive ; colour generally distinctly 

 paler, washed with ochraceous-bufi", on foreneck ; along centre of 

 breast generally slightly darker, owing to the darker base of the 

 fur partly showing through.- — Central part of mantle ochraceons, 

 in some individuals tinged with tawny, in others more approaching 

 ochraceous-bnff: posteriorly, on shoulders, and laterally, on sides of 

 neck, the colour lightens to more typical ochraceous-buff, sometimes 

 with a distinct touch of clay. Concealed base of fur of mantle and 

 sides of neck seal-brown, Glandular tufts on sides of neck orange- 

 bufT, only slightly contrasting with surrounding fnr, owing to
