Another specimen of this species has appeared, like the other one, 
a female, and resembling it also in all particulars except in having 
the general hue of the fur more decidedly ferruginous, especially 
on the side of the body and of the neck, and in having the short 
hairs on the region of the pouch and pubes of a brownish-yellow 
colour. The tail is uniform dark brown, without a trace of white or 
flesh-colour. As this specimen is preserved entire in spirit, I am 
enabled to give a very complete table of dimensions.

Obs. This species appears to resemble somewhat the D. nocti- 
vagans of Tschudi, but is obviously smaller, and has more black 
around the eye.

Very young. Perhaps the young of the last species. 
I take this opportunity of correcting an error in my former report, 
and of adding the description of a species which I noticed, but did 
not describe. — 
The species of Hesperomys which I referred to H. longicaudatus 
having been removed from spirit, the fur appeared when dried to be 
so unlike that of the species just mentioned, as to stimulate a closer 
examination, when other differences were found, quite sufficient to 
justify the application of the following name and description.
