Smithsonian Report, 1949.—Ernest P. Walker PLATE 5 
1. EGYPTIAN JERBOA (JACULUS JACULUS) 
A characteristic pose, with the very small arms and hands held close to the throat. 
The hairy pads beneath the feet are protection against hot sand and the abrasive 
action of rough surfaces. 
2. TOWNSEND'S MOLE (SCAPANUS TOWNSENDII) (MUSEUM SKIN) 
Showing the broad, powerful forefeet with large, straight claws for digging; the 
lene, sensitive, mobile snout; short, sensitive tail; and dense, soft, short, plush- 
ike fur.
