The tail is indistinct (possibly broken). The colour is a pale 

 reddish brown, lightest underneath. 



The skull. Length of skull 24,5 mm. 



Breadth across the zygomatic arches 14 mm. 



The orbital margin on the frontale is slightly swollen and rounded ; 

 the postorbital process is relatively small, and situated far back. 



The crown is smooth without sagittal crest, and with low occi- 

 pital crests. Os zygomaticum likewise smooth, and without an as- 

 cending orbital process. 



The dentition is normal: * |, c |, jp |, w f, (34). 



The Upper incisors form an even curve, and are not trian- 

 gularly arranged, as in Dobsons' specimens (Cat. Chir. Brit. Mus. 

 p. 96). 



The two central incisors converge, so that their points are almost 

 contiguous ; in size they are exactly the same, as i ^ . 



The length of the dental series is : in the upper jaw 9,5 mm, 

 lower jaw 10 mm.
