466 ABBOTT’S KILIMA-NJARO MAMMALS—TRUE. 
The feet are rust-colored, the hairs being black at the base. 
All the under surfaces, including the inside of the legs, are brigh 
rust-color. The hairs are gray at the extreme base, and many of them 
have a subterminal ring of black. Between the hind legs, however, 
the majority of the hairs are pale rust-color throughout. About the 
anus they are tipped with white. 
The tail is alike on both sides and presents the appearance of alter- 
nate bars of pale yellow and black, and is bordered with pure white. 
The hairs have nine rings, of which four narrow ones, beginning at the 
base, are pale yellow. These alternate with four broader rings of 
black. The ninth, or terminal ring, is pure white. 
The hairs at the extremity of the tail are black nearly throughout, 
but have two narrow rings of light yellow at the base and a terminal ~ 
white ring. ‘Che latter is wanting in many instances. 
The whiskers are black. The ears are clothed with short hairs of 
the same color as the surrounding parts. A tawny ring encircles the 
eye. 
The female taken in September searcely differs in any respect from 
the male, except that the fur is less dense.

This skull has only the second superior premolar on one side, but on 
the other side there is a very slender, rudimentary first premolar. This 
tooth is not present in the skull of the female, and it may be considered 
that the species has normally but one premolar. 
“As these are taken from the dry skins they are, of course, only approximately 
correct. The body has been somewhat elongated in No. 19006, and is crushed together 
in the type, so that the proper length is probably between the two measuremen 
given
