882 ROBERT COLLETT, 



Space between the ears is'whitish , by which the dark patch on the 

 base becomes very conspicuous. At the inner margiu of the root of 

 the ears is a tuft of intensely reddish yellow hairs, a colour, which is 

 not found elsewhere in the animaP). 



The Upper part of the snout is brownish black, sharply defined 

 on the sides, but becoming successively greyish brown on the forehead ; 

 a broad white stripe, also sharply defined, extends under the brownish 

 black parts, from the snout to below the eyes, and under this stripe 

 a narrower brownish black one is found. Over the black, long eyelashes 

 (at all events in one specimen) is a white stripe or spot. 



In the fore limbs, only the last Joint of the fiugers is blackish 

 in C, but this colour is more extensive in the other specimens. The 

 bind lirab is quite grey, and only the tuft at the claw of the middle 

 toe is black. 



Length of ear (measured along its inner margin): — B 91 mm, 

 C 88 mm. 



Length of bind foot (from heel to tip of the claws) : - B 245 mm, 

 C 254 mm. 



Length of tail: — B 694 mm, C 810 mm. 



The ear is thus rather long, about as long as from the end of 

 the snout to half way between the eye and ear ; the tail is very long, 

 about the length of the body (head included). 



Thus in the two larger specimens, of which the skins were brought 

 home, is contained: 



the ear in the length of the bind foot: B 2,69, C 2,88. 



the skull in the length of the bind foot: B 1,89, C 1,89. 



the bind foot in the length of the tail: B 2,83, C 3,18.

The two largest specimens are, notwithstanding the skull is larger 

 than in C (which is a mature female with worn teeth), however, 

 younger, as the innermost molar is not yet fully developed, and almost 

 without any traces of being worn ; these are probably both young males ; 

 B, which is a young female, is in a similar condition. 



1) This tuft of bright coloured hairs is also found at the same spot 

 in some other Halmaturi.
