uniformly over the whole of the fur behind the shoulders. — Breast, 

 bellv, and flanks blackish, but never uniform in colour : in most 

 specimens thinly, in others moderately or even very thickly 

 sprinkkd with glossy silvery whitish, or pale greyish, or buffy- 

 greyish hairs or tips to the hairs. Very often the anal region is 

 conspicuously suffused with vandyck-brown or dark russet, or one 

 of these colours tinged with chestnut ; and sometimes this suffusion 

 extends over the whole of the belly, breast, and flanks, or restricts 

 the blackish area to a narrow median line on breast and belly. — 

 Mantle varying from rich ochraceous-buff tinged with orange, to 

 ochraceous, or tawny. On the sides of the neck this colour shades 

 into ochraceous-rufous, chestnut-hazel, or chestnut. Forcneck in 

 some specimens chestnut or dark feiruginous, but generally more 

 or less heavily clouded with blackish, or blackish washed with dark 

 chestnut ; thus, partly owing to the darkening of the colour of tho 

 foreneck, partly to the paler sprinkling or brownish suffusion of 

 the breast and belly, there is generally no strong contrast, some- 

 times scarcely any difference at all, between foreneck and breast. 

 Hairs of mantle and sides of neck uniform to base, rarely with 

 extreme base blackish. — Crown and temporal region in some speci- 

 mens similar to mantle, but generally of a darker tinge : chestnut, 

 or chestnut seal-brown, or blackish, in the latter case as a rule 

 sprinkled with pale greyish. Chin and throat blackish or seal- 

 brown, or chestnut seal-brown, generally uniform, sometimes thinly 

 sprinkled with greyish.
