concln~;ioiis from its culour ;is diie'l from spirif. hut BIytli stated that 

 the onlj' difFrirence between it and II. saillns lay in its rather longer 

 tail. Certainly no differences in the skulls are ascertainable and tlie 

 tail in It smllii!>, thougli short, is very variable. Anderson's specimen 

 from tlie Khayyen Hills was described as rusty brown above, the hairs 

 with black tips, ami this ranks it also with H suilliis from which the 

 iSiamese specimen is instantly separable Ijy its markedly paler colour,
