In these specimens the posterior fourth of the palatal floor is abruptly 

 and deeply depressed (from m 2 posteriorly); the teeth are of medium 

 size, and the audital bullae are well developed and considerably 

 inflated. Two average middle-aged skulls, male and female, measure 

 as follows: Total length, $ 89, $87; basal length (inner base of 

 incisors to posterior border of condyles), $ 82, ? 79; zygomatic 

 breadth, $ 57.3, ? 56.5; interorbital breadth, $ 19, ? 19; width of 

 braincase, $ 36.5, $35; length of palate, $ 39, i 36; upper pre- 

 molar-molar series, $ 21, $ 19; lower premolar-molar series, $ 22, 

 2 20.6; length of lower jaw, $ 61, 5 59; height at condyle, S 28, 

 ? 29; height at coronoid, $ 40, ? 40.6. 



"KINKAJOU (called martico). Moderately common in 

 forest below 3000 feet, and perhaps above that altitude; but 

 most of our specimens were shot in the dry forest not far from 

 sea-level. It goes singly or in pairs, is arboreal, seldom seen 

 on the ground, and seems to be diurnal rather than nocturnal. 

 It moves among the trees cautiously, choosing the larger 

 branches, and does not make long leaps. It is said to live in 

 hollows in the upper part of tree trunks; beyond that I 

 learned nothing of its habits." H. H. S. 



49. Procyon proteus Allen. Six specimens (2 males and 

 4 females, all adult), skins and skulls, Bonda. (See this 

 Bulletin, XX, 1904, p. 333.) 



"RACCOON. Common in dry forest near the coast, and 

 along the larger streams for a few miles inland ; I do not think 

 that it is found among the mountains [taken at 8000 feet by 

 Mr. Brown]. It is mainly nocturnal in its habits, and is fre- 

 quently hunted (for its skin) on the sand beaches during 

 moon-lit nights. Its food consists largely of marine and fresh- 

 water animals, fish, mollusca, and Crustacea, and it also eats 

 certain fruits. 



"The Coati is not found near Santa Marta." H. H. S.
