  This 
  is 
  the 
  smallest 
  known 
  race 
  of 
  the 
  Korrigum. 
  An 
  

   examination 
  of 
  f?kins 
  and 
  skulls 
  from 
  several 
  sources 
  has 
  

   enabled 
  me 
  to 
  establish 
  this 
  species. 
  In 
  the 
  B.M. 
  collection 
  

   there 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  imperfect 
  series 
  of 
  five 
  specimens 
  ; 
  but 
  a 
  visit 
  

   to 
  the 
  establishment 
  of 
  Messrs. 
  Rowland 
  Ward, 
  who 
  also 
  

   kindly 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  Museum 
  a 
  perfect 
  skin 
  and 
  skull, 
  

   which 
  I 
  have 
  taken 
  as 
  the 
  type, 
  proves 
  its 
  right 
  to 
  recognition 
  

   as 
  a 
  separate 
  race,
