General colour above, including the crown of the head, the 
outer sides of the limbs, and feet, black, minutely and pro- 
fusely speckled with fulvous (wood-brown, Ridg.). The 
fulvous is everywhere in excess of the darker colour, but more 
especially so on the head and feet. Hach hair is greyish at 
its base, shading into black at its tip, and carries two or three 
fulvous annulations, which are about equal in breadth to the 
intervening portions. The cheeks, face, and chin are of a 
erizzled rufous (ochraceous buff, Ridg.) ; on the muzzle and 
a ring round the eye the colour is pure. ‘I'he underparts and 
the inner sides of the limbs vary from a deep chestnut to a 
very pale orange (ochraceous rufous to orange-buff, Ridg.), 
individuals being found of all shades within these limits. 
The light lateral ; stripe which borders the grizzled colour of 
the back is pale buff (buff, Ridg.), and is succeeded below by 
: oy black stripe, which is usually rather broader. ‘The 
‘eadth varies from 5 millim. to 10 millim., but this variation 
is Heesiate partly due to the different ways in which the 
skins are made up. ‘The ears are covered with short rufous 
hairs, similar in colour to those on the muzzle; there is no 
conspicuous light patch behind the ear, although in a few 
cases a slig ehtly lighter tinge may be observed by pulling the 
ear forward, but in most cases it is entirely absent. ‘The tail 
on its upper part is similar in colour to the back, but the 
annulations are rather broader; below the fulvous so greatly 
predominates as to almost entirely obscure the darker colour ;
