more grey in the males, more red in the females; a dark stripe ex- 

 tends on each side of the snout to the eye. The white stripes along 

 the sides behind the fore limbs are very distinct in each individual, 

 as well as in the young specimen. (The drawing by Waterhouse, 

 Mamm. vol. I, pl. I in no way resembles our specimens.) The lower 

 surface, along the middle, from the chin is whitish, at the sides 

 reddish grey. 



The tail is black, with the exception of the inner quarter, which 

 is of the same colour as the back. The ears have a black patch near 

 their tips. The back of the fingers and toes are black. 



In the young specimen, which otherwise resembles the old ones, 

 the hair of the tail is still rather short. 



The male (E) has shorter ears, and a more bushy tail than the 

 female (B). 



Some measurements of the mounted specimens give: 



Length of body (with head) .... about 

 Length of tail (without hair pencil) .... 

 Length of ears (measured along the inner margin) 

 Length of bind foot (from heel to tip of claw) 

 The skull. 

 B. Length 98 mm, Breadth 52 mm, Length of lower jaw 67 mm.

is wanting. The orbital margins run at first 

 parallel, and form a short postorbital process (which, however, in some 

 individuals is almost imperceptible). 



The interparietale is comparatively narrow, but long, and extends 

 far forwards. It has a raised central portion, the rounded end of which 

 in front apparently curves in under, and is partially covered by the 

 sutures between the two parietalia. 



The nasalia strongly arched and narrow anteriorly, but increasing 

 considerably in width behind. In B their combined breadth in front 

 is 5,5 mm, behind 12,5 mm, their length is40mm. The forehead bet- 

 ween the Orbits is considerably concave. 



The foramina palatina are very wide, and in the largest specimen 

 (F) extend forwards to the centre of m ^ , in the younger specimens 

 still further forwards, (in the female B to about the front margin of
