belly, and the inner portion of the feet. On tlie fore linibs the white 



colour extends round tlie elbows, and forms a broad white ring round 



the arms. 



The head is brownish black, like the back, with no trace of white 



patches on, or about the ears. Of the tail, the inner two thirds are 



black; the tip is white. 



The claws are lightish brown, the muzzle jet black. 



The female on the whole is coloured like the male, while the 



belly is not white, but greyish white, and no trace of the white rings 



is to be Seen. The back is likewise more mixed with reddish brown.

 The nasalia are rather narrow and lengthened, and, in the suture 



with the frontalia, they form a rather deep angle, open in front. 



They are placed obliquely towards each other, so that the suture bet- 



ween them forms a rather sharp keel. 



The interorbital space is deeply concave. 



The frontal crests are sharp and distinct in front, but almost 



entirely disappear at the back. They never meet to form a sagittal 



crest, but run almost parallel backwards on the parietalia. 



The buUae osseae are short, shghtly pointed. The palatine bones 



have no foramen palatinum, but some punctual foramina are seen here 



and on the maxillary portion of the palate between the front molars. 

 The foramina incisiva are long, and rather broad in front; their 



hinder (narrower) third is formed by the maxillaria. 



The intermaxillare is pretty evenly broad, and is not elongated 



above to a pointed angle towards the back, as in Ps. caudivolvulus. 



The suture with the maxillare divides the nasal suture about the 



middle. 



A minute foramen into the dental canal can be seen in the lower 



jaw of the male, but this is wanting in the female specimen. It does 



not therefore appear to be constant. 



The teeth are comparatively dispersed, as the snout is rather 



long. Thus in the upper jaw, c by a space (which is at least as long, 



as the base of amolar) is separated from the last incisor, and is almost
