a c. Three specimens, of different ages and colours. 

 d f. Three young specimens, only rufous on the upper part of

g. A skull, in a bad state, 

 h. Drawing, with details offset, t. 119. 



This species differs from L. pusillus of Siberia, in having long 

 and soft fur and large ears. 



We have a specimen in the British Museum agreeing with 

 L. Roylii (Ogilby), which wants the rufous colour on the shoul- 

 ders. I formerly considered it distinct from this species, but 

 re-examination and comparison with more specimens make me 

 believe it is the same.
