of the basal portion amiulatetl with ochraceous, those of the distal 

 part bufTy-grej-, an indistinct dark median line; underside pale Iniffy 

 grej'. (The last inch of the upper surface is clad with short bl.ickish 

 hairs, but as the underside is uniformly haired to the end, this is 

 possibly the result of some accident). 



" Orbital skin pinkish red, anal skin bright deep pink, abdominal 

 skin bluish, palms and soles dark hair brown " (K. G. G.). 



Slndl and tecih. The skull, though fully adult with much worn 

 canines, sliglitl^^ worn mol.irs and with sutures obliterated, is of a 

 somewhat infantile type, light in structure and lacking crests or ridges. 

 The orbits are almost as high as broad, as in .If. ]>revicaa'la to whicii 

 there is a close general resemblance ; but in siii{nka the muzzle is 

 longer and broader and therefore the face more sloping, the orbil;s are 

 also less vertical, with their outer sides more retreating, the zygomata 

 are lighter and the nares more elliptical, less V-shaped. The upper 

 tooth rows are more pireliel tli ui in Jirpricnudi and the posterior 

 nares are broader. The manrlible is of the same type though longer, 

 but the ascending ramus is considerably narrower, with its anterior 

 edge sloping backwards from below, instead of being nearly vertical.
