in color, but all are in bad condition, and one, the nearest in color to 

 the figure in Spix's plate has lost most of the hair on the body. They 

 are all reddish brown, of different shades however, caused somewhat, 

 possibly, by fading or from the accumulation of dust. One has the 

 body above of a buff color, another raw umber, while another is dark 

 reddish brown. The tails vary also in color from a dark reddish brown 

 to almost black. The fur is short, rather thick, soft and silky to the 

 touch, very different from that of L. lagotricha and the group it 

 represents.
