mm. respectively, against 46. They represent a light and a darker phase, the 

 former between russet and wood-brown above, the latter a drab. The follow- 

 ing cranial measurements show that the skulls are a trifle smaller than that of 

 the type: 



Type. No. 7228. No. 7284. 



Total length of skull to front of canine 19.8 19 18.5 



Upper tooth row 7.7 7.5 7. 



Lower tooth row " " " " 8.1 8. 7.3 



Mandible 13.5 12.8 12.5 



In both specimens the first upper premolars are in the tooth row on each 

 side. In No. 7224 lower premolars 2 and 4 are in contact, wiCh premolar 3 forced 

 to the outside in the angle between them. In No. 7223, however, lower premolar 

 3 is only slightly external and separates the twd others by a slight space.
