260 LEVERIAN MUSK. 



trifle longer and thinner than in Seba's figure, and 

 not so well covered with hair. In size it scarcely 

 exceeds that of the Pygmy Musk. 



The figure given in the Museum Leverianum 

 is introduced by Mr. Schreber into his work on 

 Quadrupeds under the same title, viz. Moschus 

 ddlcatulus. I must, however, confess myself to 

 be not without some suspicion, from the fineness 

 and closeness of the hair, in the above-mentioned 

 specimen, that it is rather a very young animal than 

 of its true size : it must consequently be considered 

 as doubtful. In the form of its teeth it nearly re- 

 sembles the M. Javanicus and some others, having 

 the two middle cutting-teeth very broad. For the 

 satisfaction of the reader, the figure is copied from 

 the Museum Leverianum into the present work.
