Notwithstanding Lorentzii is a larger animal than Nou- 
huys, with a larger skull, in the latter however the skull 
is broader, the molars stouter built, and the upper- as well 
as the lower canines are much stronger and a good deal 
larger; but in Lorentzii the auditory bullae are more in- 
flated, meanwhile the skull, as a whole, makes the im- 
pression of being much more slender. A careful comparison 
learns that there are a lot of other differences, very difficult 
to describe, between these two skulls.

By far the smallest of all hitherto known New-Guinea- 
species, except melanura Thomas; all the teeth are present 
and more or less worn. 
The silky hairs of the back from between the ears, as 
well as those along the flanks, are of a fine brownish 
color, mouse-colored at the base, and intermixed with some 
whitish hairs; hairs of underparts at the base mouse-colored,
