Mr. 11. I. Pocock on some 



cases the area behind it is overgrown with hairs from which 

 the carpal pad arises, as an island, towards the onter or 

 ulnar side of the wrist. 



The hind foot, so far as the digital pads are concerned, 

 agrees, broadly speaking, with the fore foot. The whole 

 foot is actually longer and narrower than the fore foot; and 

 the plantar pad is partially divided in two by a deep angular 

 depression, covered with hair, which penetrates it on the 

 inner or hallucal side. The part of the pad behind this 

 hairy depression does not extend nearly to the tip of the 

 heel, the extent of the heel which is covered with hair being

A. Right fore foot of Dam's horribilis from below. 

 V>. Right hind foot of the same. 1, the first digit ; 5, the fifth digit. 

 (The hairs are everywhere cut short.) 



almost equal to the length of the anterior half of the plantar 

 pad along' the middle line*. 



In the fore foot of Danis horribilis (fig. 2, A) the digital 

 pads are tightly tied together by naked integument extending 

 approximately to the middle of their length, the integument 



* At least in the Ontario specimens. Tn my figure of the hind foot 



of the Newfoundland specimen the heel appears to be much shorter; 



but the approximate equality in length between this foot and the fore 



of the same specimen convinces me that the precise length of the 



heel was disregarded in the illustration.
