DELPFTTTTD^. 



Type of species. Only known by the skull which is figured 

 in Zool. Ereb. &. Terr, suppl. pi. xxxv. 



As far as the materials for comparison permit, no difference 

 can be seen between this and the last ; it is therefore probable 

 that they belong to one species, for which the former name must 

 be retained. This cannot, however, be verified until the external 

 characters of an animal having a skull identical with that of 

 L. clanculus are compared with the figure of L.fitzroyi given in 

 the Voyage of the ' Beagle.'
