228 SOUTH-AMERICAN MAMMALS. 



nigera has in several parts a striking resemblance with 

 the skull and dentition of D. philmider , figured under the 

 name of Philander cayopollin in Burmeister's »Erlauterungen 

 zur Fauna Brasiliens , 1856, PI. XI, figs. 5, 5^1- and S^"; 

 if Philander dichura Bur meister is a good species (I can- 

 not judge about this because I never saw a specimen like 

 it) then it may enter too in the same division.
